Initial 4 stars, will up to 5 if it's all good in a couple of days App immediately helped me move over to 5ghz channel on Wi-Fi. For whatever reason android won't let me natively choose the right channel even though it's higher Mbps. Smh Anyway thanks to dev. If everything's gravy in a week I'll figure out how to toss ya a few bucks. Much appreciated 👍

I have a Japanese xz2 premium that runs best on its original android 8.0. My modem broadcast mixed 2.4 and 5G under one name. When I'm in a bedroom furthest from the modem the phone connects to 2.4G. This app is exactly what I was looking for to force 5g Wi-Fi. Now when watching prime video it remains HD or 4K. Nicely done program. Newer Android tends to connect to 5g even signal is less than the 2.4g. Older Android like 8 and prior always set to 2.4G unless you are very close to modem/router.

This app works flawlessly, just flawless! I have Starlink and the Router has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz and the same SSID, every other method on Android 11 no longer lets you select a preferred frequency, this app found my Starlink and was able to switch the bands. This works perfectly!

Interface is reasonable, but will not actually prevent 5 gHz connections.

Doesn't work I'm looking for an app to force my phone into 2.4ghz, so I can set up a smart plug. Android used to have this built in.

This "app" is PURE BS... Doesn't work on 10 or 11. Dev says "don't complain". Uhhh.... This section is for reporting trash possibly malware.

Setting to force frequency to 2.4ghz doesn't work at all. Need to force 2.4 in order to pair smart devices.
