Have anyone tested if the iPhone 12 mini broadcast wifi personal hotspot on 5Ghz?
I used a wifi anlyzer but I cannot find the 5Ghz signal from IPhone 12 mini.
I can only see 2.4Ghz.
I have connected other devices on it and it only showed 2.4Ghz too.
Anyone have the same case as me?
iPhone 12 mini
From your question I presume that you know this --> Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) replaces Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), which in turn replaced Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) as the standard for Wi-Fi speed in 2013
The iPhone 11 and later is capable of connecting to Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Now the question is what is the router / modem that you are connecting to? If it has WiFi 5 or WiFi 4 the iPhone 11 and higher will only connect to WiFi 5 or WiFi 4 because it has downward compatibility. If the router has WiFi 6 802.11ax it will seamlessly connect to it with WiFi 6.
In other words, if you have iPhone XS, which has 802.11ac Wi‑Fi 5, it will connect to a router with only 802.11ac WiFi 5 even if the router has WiFi 6 (802.11ax).
I am using the iPhone 12 mini as personal hotspot, but I am not sure if its capable of broadcasting in 5Ghz as what the internet says.
I have tested mine and I only see 2.4 GHz. And I have not seen anyone who have tested the 5Ghz.
so it’s either it is not supported or my phone is defective.
This is why I am here asking question since I have only one I phone 12 mini and no other phone to compare it with.
If anyone who have IPhone 12, can you please try to check whether your iPhone can broadcast (not connect to router or other wifi hotspot) in 5Ghz.
A hotspot is a Carrier Specific feature. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider), the agency that issued the SIM / eSIM to you.
I just contacted my carrier and they do not restrict anything on personal hotspot.
