If you’re experiencing slow internet speeds on your Android device, it could be because your phone is connected to a 5 GHz WiFi network instead of a 2.4 GHz one. This is a common problem that can be easily fixed by switching to a 2.4 GHz network. In this article, we’ll show you how to switch to 2.4 GHz WiFi on Android devices.
Step 1: Check Your WiFi Network
Before you switch to a 2.4 GHz network, you need to make sure that your phone is actually connected to a 5 GHz network. To do this, go to your phone’s settings and tap on “WiFi.” Look for the name of your WiFi network and check if it has “5G” or “5 GHz” in its name.
Step 2: Forget the 5 GHz Network
If your phone is connected to a 5 GHz network, you need to forget the network before you can switch to a 2.4 GHz one. To do this, go back to the WiFi settings and tap on the network name. Then, tap on “Forget” or “Forget Network.”
Step 3: Scan for Available Networks
Once you’ve forgotten the 5 GHz network, your phone will automatically start scanning for available WiFi networks. Wait for a few seconds until the scanning process is complete.
Step 4: Select a 2.4 GHz Network
After the scanning process is complete, you should see a list of available WiFi networks. Look for a network that has “2.4G” or “2.4 GHz” in its name and select it. If you’re prompted for a password, enter it and tap on “Connect.”
Step 5: Check Your Connection
After you’ve connected to a 2.4 GHz network, open your web browser and see if your internet speed has improved. If everything is working fine, you’re done!
