No 5GHz on iPhone X

[yourxp]

Anyone with the issue above?
I’ve no issues getting 5GHz signal on my iPad 2017 and iphone se from my bedroom (4m away?) but the iPhone X just couldn’t capture ANY signal...

Was this close to changing my router, thinking it’s faulty!

I got some minor issues with 5Ghz bands with distance too, I don't think it's just you then.

Even if 5GHz can be detected. Sometime it will just kick me out and a pain to use

Will get disconnected as well after a certain distance

The new ip8 and X use a newer intel. Chip mayb need more iOS version to patch them ?

For me, can connect but the range is decreased. Compared to my old phone

encountering same issue with ipad/macbook/iphones always preferred connecting to 2.4ghz although our router at home got both 5 and 2.4.

I was quite annoyed with this but seems no options to select unless I purposely disabled 2.4

Your house so big? So far mine no issue. On 5gh everyday ever since i get my phone. Never dc once before

iPhone cannot have such problem! Lol. Anyway guess is their new antenna design is not mature enough

5GHz is never great with distance esp through our HDB walls. The iPad antenna is way larger than the iPhone and certainly can put more power into it so I'll not be surprised.

Actually, I had issues on 5ghz band although the router was in my room less than 1m away. But after updating iOS, I didn’t have this issue. I was on the 6s previously and didn’t have such issues. I think it’s iOS which is full of bugs these days compared to the past.
