My Samsung TV’s cannot pick up my 5ghz wifi network

[J20ffy]

So I have three Samsung TV’s in my home, all 2020 year of manufacturing and yes I know how to check the connections and none of them will show up the 5ghz wifi. Yet I have a 2012 Panasonic Tv which can pick it up. Surly Samsung should have made their tv’s to connect to a 5ghz connection. 

my router has the connections separated for the 2.4 and 5ghz so it’s not my router and all other devices can pick up the 5ghz. 

I have checked softaware updates and all TV’s are up to date. I also tried a full tv reset and again did not work.

One of my TVs product code is: 

UE43TU7020KXXU

so any insight on why Samsung TVs are rubbish when it comes to a 5ghz wifi I welcome feedback as I’m now considering changing mine as it’s rubbish.

AFAIK that model doesn't support 5ghz wifi.

So why does Samsung say that all their smart TVs over 2018 models can support 5ghz? That’s a bit of mid information to sell their products not really honesty is it, no wonder there is so many people on google complaining about the same issues with their TVs. I will most definitely be upgrading to a better tv quality then. Load of rubbish if you ask me

I have no idea, sorry. I have no connection with Samsung so not in a place to give an opinion.

We're into 2022 and I was so disappointed when I finally accepted I couldn't use the 5ghz band on my '21 Samsung T.V. They still wanted the £1000 though.

Why do people reply when they have no clue?

Your 5ghz wifi might be using a channel which is out of range, eg. too high. For example, channel 100 was not picked up but channel 36 was picked up by the television.

Same - I have a 2023 UE43CU7100 but it only connects to the 2.4Ghz channel - only device that has an issue...

OK. Just checked, only to discover I was on 2.4k. Ran Speedtest.net got 38MBs.

Manually added my 5g network and did a retest. Now 77.6MBs.

So it doesn't auto detect 5g, but will work if you manually set it up.
