Cerbo GX WiFi Frequency

I am unable to see my 5GHz WiFi networks with my Cerbo GX. I can’t find any documentation specifying what type of WiFi networks the Cerbo can connect to. Does it only support 2.4gHz?

I believe the GX devices only support 2.4 GHz WiFi at this time

I had a similar situation and can only see my 2.4GHz WiFi. Seems it is limited to that.

I'm curious if anyone has tried using a USB 5ghz wifi adapter on it. It's possible the OS on the CerboGX includes basic drivers for this? I may have one and will try later.

Natively, No. 2.4ghz as is standard for most iot devices these days.

Section 6.2 details dongles some which support 5gig.
