Any idea why there's no way to disable 5G on any networks home routers??
Considering, there's no evidence proving 5G is any faster or better. I'd rather have 4G.
Does anyone know how to have home WiFi with 4G only.? Thanks in advance.

On my netgear nighthawk its called 'smart connect' (in the WiFi settings section) or something along those lines (It lets the router decide which band to put your device in), Disabling this will essentially give you two wifi access points that will be joinable. The 2.4Ghz band and the 5 along with two access point names.
You will need to make sure you set passwords for both points. This will allow you to choose which wifi band you want to join.
There is also lots of evidence showing 5Ghz is capable of faster transfer speeds, Running a speed test whilst conncted to each one will show this (providing you have speeds well over 300MB/s available to test).
As a rule of thumb 2.4Ghz has slower max speeds but cover a greater distance in signal and 5Ghz works the opposite way round (more speed less distance).
Anyway sorry for the long winded reply. If I understood your post correctly.. The setting your looking for is within your router settings.
If I've misunderstood, disregard my post lol.
All the best.

Thank for responding btw. I've actually disconnected the 5G on my Samsung no problem. It's my Spectrum home WiFi router that I'm hoping to be able to disconnect from. I'm thoroughly convinced 5G is no faster, better, or beneficial in any way. My research tells me 5G is quite harmful actually, regarding EMF and microwave rays produced by 5G is harmful and on purpose. When I asked Spectrum how to disconnect 5G, I'm told there is no way to do it. I find that puzzling and vindicating my suspicions. Sometimes I start feeling the 5G affecting my health and I want to go back to 4G. Because that doesn't feel as dangerous as 5G. Thanks again.
