Hello,
I have Galaxy S8, SM-6950F
The problem is I cannot change the mobile hotspot band from 2.4GHZ to 5GHZ, because the band setting simply doesn't exist under hotspot, although this should be available for the S8. Now I have googled this issue a bit and found other people with the same problem, but I have yet to find a solution or a final answer if anything can or cannot be done to fix this.
In the hotspot settings, where there should be a possibility to change the settings, the only thing I can change is network name, WPA, password and PMF.
It's really frustrating since one of the main things I use my phone for is hosting hotspot for my laptop.
Some pople were saying it's a regional thing, this phone was bought in Estonia, no idea where it originally came from.
If anyone has an idea how to get access to 5Ghz I would be forever thankful. Or even confirm that it cannot be done, that would help aswell
Thank you!
