Dear all,

i saw on the wifi antennas that they can operate in 2.4 and 5 ghz.
i tried to connect to 5ghz wifi with no success.
does the flight deck support 5ghz and if yes, how can activate it?

If you are in station mode, just connect to a 5GHz access point

If you are in host mode, I think you would modify /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf with the appropriate channel

too much setting with ads shell.
I started to wrote entire web application, so I can change the values like every normal device have (such as routers)

too many parameters to work with in add shell.
