Dear all,
as far as I know, the RPi 3a+ supports 5GHz WiFi but for an (currently) unknown reason it only connects to 2.4GHz in my environment.
I'm using the same SSID for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, other devices are connecting correctly to 5GHz.
Is this, because for my Pi, the Quality of 2.4 GHz (50/70) is higher than for 5GHz (35/70)? If this is the case, is there an option to prefer 5GHz anyway?
Pi is running on moOde 6.1 ...
