Need help here...

How to enable 5ghz wifi? Already enabled both 2.4ghz and 5ghz on router setting, but cant find the 5ghz one.

Using dlink dir 878, unifi 100mb. Surf on laptop, note 9.

My previously dir 850L got 5ghz without problem.

Thank you.

Disable Smart Connect on Setting >Wireless. Your Smart Connect is enabled, so the router is deciding automatically which band, 2.4GHz or 5GHz, your device is connecting to. Disable it, and you will see it separate now.

Your device might not support it.

Seems my device support it. Just now i accidentally put my note 9 above the router and suddenly got the 5ghz wifi but very weak. Just one to two bar signal.
But when i take up my phone, the signal lost. Try with another device also same.

Defect item? Should i go to the shop for exchange or claim warranty?
