    The osmio 4k has dual band wifi (2.4/5 GHz radios) but of the 4 images that I have installed, only one (OpenATV) will list 5 GHz access points. There is a workaround for the other 3.

    1. telnet and login to the box
    2. if you know the ssid of your 5 GHz AP and encryption passphrase, edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.<interface>.conf
    #WPA Supplicant Configuration by enigma2
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    eapol_version=1
    fast_reauth=1
    ap_scan=1
    network={
    ssid="whatever_it_is"
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=RSN
    pairwise=CCMP
    group=CCMP
    psk="whatever_it_is"
    }

    Of course, the above file was already created on my box with a 2.4 GHz access point - I don't know if it already exists on a new install. If not already present you should be able to create the file using a text editor and then copy and paste and edit it to use your ssid and psk key (aka encryption passphrase).

    3. Reboot and you'll be connected to your 5 GHz AP - worked for me on all three images.

    Anyway, the firmware should be updated to scan and list the 5 GHz AP's. The firmware should be fixed to provide proper information on the wifi networks that are detected instead of listing an encrypted network as open (i.e. Encryption: No) and with a valid signal level instead of -256 dbm, also. And the statistics don't give a bitrate either.
    Microwave techs are fully deviated.

    My ARRIS private network Router has 5g wifi and every image I have installed shows the 5g wifi never had to do any of that. Thanks for the info, someone may need it.
