 I see that my Amazon Fire is using 2.4 GHz instead of the 5GHz. How to I get it to use the 5?

    Seems OK but I would prefer 5 GHz. I have a PS4 right next to the Fire and it is using 5GHz.


    OK....I would leave it....but perhaps unplug the PS4 as a test.

    Does your Amazon Fire work?  Streaming OK?

     

    Usually the freq assigned is based on distance from the broadcast.

     

    If it's working fine, I wouldn't worry about it.
