dual-band WiFi
By default, your mobile hotspot only broadcasts a WiFi signal on the 5 GHz band.

slower but has better range. If your device supports 6 GHz WiFi, you can also enable 6
GHz WiFi.

1. Quickly press and release the Power button to wake your mobile hotspot.
The lock screen displays.

3. Tap WiFi > Band.
The Band page displays.
4. Tap the band setting that you want your device to broadcast.
Your mobile hotspot temporarily pauses WiFi to change the settings.
5. Tap Ok.
Your WiFi band settings are saved.
