I use tethering on daily basis, it's a critical function for me in any rom. I have no alternative internet access at my workplace. All frequency channels of the 2.4Ghz band in my area are over saturated, and Bluetooth also uses 2.4Ghz, so on any channel of 2.4Ghz band I get very poor and unstable tethering connection. I recently switched to Lollipop as my daily driver and already put a lot of work into it, so I don't want to go back to KitKat. Native tethering in KitKat stock TW roms allows tethering on 5Ghz band and I'm looking for a way to enable it In Lollipop. I also could not find a single wifi tethering app in Play store, which supports 5Ghz. Any suggestions, such as build.prop or XML settings I could modify myself, without recompiling, which would enable 5Ghz tethering option, or a 3rd party app that can do that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here is what I'm talking about: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9061
May have to wait until the rom supports it. You are Relying on an obviously pre-beta rom as a daily driver, so finding something like this shouldn't be surprising.
I'm also doubtful 5GHz tethering would be high on teamasek's (or other CM12 developer's) list right now.

It's actually considered a beta rom, not a pre-beta, and according to CM team's latest blog post on the subject Lollipop nightlies should have been already available a couple of weeks ago. I agree with you that unfortunately 5Ghz tethering is not likely to be high on CM devs priorities list, and that is why I posted my question, asking if anybody knows a workaround how to enable it myself by manually changing some configuration, without recompiling.
Back to KK
I finally gave up and went back to KK TW rom. Hopefully in a few months CM team adds 5Ghz tethering feature.
Which rom for 5ghz?
Hi! Which rom you use?. In my stock rom there is no 5ghz option in hotspot?
Device: XT1527 (MOTO E 4G LTE)
I know the device does not support 5ghz for wifi.
Sometimes some devices come with the 5ghz mode for the hotspot even though the wifi ac, 5ghz, option is not available, for e.g Samsung Avant.
Can anyone who owns this device find out for me if the device has the option to launch hotspot in 5ghz mode?
It should be in the configure menu under tethering and hotspot right under where you choose a password.
I really appreciate everyone's effort.
Thanks
No, it hasn't.
Im using a F320S running CloudyG2 2.2 rom, and wanting to run a 5ghz wifi hotspot on it to do ftp faster
The problem is I cant start the hotspot if I choose 5ghz in advanced option, 2.4ghz work but very slow (8mbps maximum in my experience)
Is there any way to fix this problem or which rom support it?
I can use 5Ghz hotspot but cannot find 5Ghz frequency band for the wifi when I want to connect to a 5Ghz hotspot.
Can anyone help me.

Usually newer phone has 2.4/5Ghz wifi/hotspot option(frequency bands 802.11n).
I can create a hotspot of 5Ghz frequency band like. But I cannot connect to 5Ghz frequency hotspot.
When I was using Android 6 I had the option to choose between 2.4/5Ghz wifi band.
But after the Android N update(Resurrection remix 5.8.4). The option went missing.
I'm just curious to know why this happened.
Because 5Ghz is much faster than 2.4Ghz.
ever since i updated my phone i can't seem to connect to my wifi 5Ghz channel on other hand my wifi 2.4Ghz channel and my neighbors will appear normally only 5Ghz that won't appear at all
also before Oreo there was switch so that either you see only 5Ghz or only 2.4Ghz or both but now that gone.
can anyone help me on fixing this ?
also to let you know i'm rooted and i have tried Wifi extend module also wifi bonding module and nothing my 5GHz wifi doesn't appear .
