Dear All, when I turn on hotspot mobile the WiFi works at 2,4 GHz and there's no 5 GHz radio signal.
I would like to know how to turn on the 5 GHz wifi hotspot.
Thank you in advance.

Please go to Device Manager > Network Adapters and check the Wifi card to see what is it. Not all Wifi cards support 5.0GHz
Regards,

Dear Banhien, I confirm wireless adapter supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. When it works as a client, normally it connects to 5 GHz Access Point signal. If there's no 5 GHz wifi signal, then it connects to 2.4 GHz.
When wireless adapter works as an AP (turning on Hotspot Mobile function), it turns on only the 2.4 GHz radio.
Additional information: wireless adapter is Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support confirmed.
