General discussion • Re: Pi 4/5 won't connect to Android hotspot at 5Ghz

I would be interested to know what channel your Pi connects to your Android on. my Pi is within 3 feet of my phone, but that isn't the issue here. My issue is specifically that my phone is "broadcasting" the hotspot on channel 161, which I believe is not a legal channel in the UK and the Pi doesn't even scan that frequency so my Pi only connects at 2.4GHz (successfully). I am struggling to get my Pi to scan channels that high and setting the wifi location through raspi-config to (for instance, CN, US, CA), or by using

Code:

sudo iw reg set CN
still doesn't let it scan those higher channels. In fact it seems to revert back to GB when it does connect at 2.4GHz.
