How to switch 5G ON or OFF on Xiaomi, Redmi & POCO Smartphones

Old video but still works on Xiaomi 11t pro. One of my sim cards does not connect to 5G. The other is ok. Tried everything. Saw this video and made it to work for both sims. Thank you.

Does it show as 5G on the right up corner? Because despite 5g being on the default options, it only shows LTE+

[phonixsolomon]

Thank you!! is there a way of not connecting to 5g ever?

[briggs]

instead of "prefer" is there a "force" network type to only use 5g?

[hades_]

Do you update 14.0.8? After update i can't get 5g network unless i reboot phone... Before this i just turn on/off LTE to 5g then i will get 5g network back now i can't

[jfsps]

Thank you.
*I will leave my question, but i just find that it needed an update and a refresh of the sim cards and it showed me what network was using.
I have a question, is there a way to put in the signal bars if its using 4g, lte, 5g, or H networks?, i'm new with this phones and in my old one it told me in what network was working and i was wondering if this is possible in this ones.

Hi there, I had all these options last night and I woke up today and they're all gone? Is there any explanations?

[XxExOikos]

I use my Poco f3 as a hotspot and it overheats quickly. Will turning 5g off help?

[chainjail]

Thanks! I can use 5g now. I'm surprised from 10mbps spiked to 900mpbs lol. But now it stays at 110mbps. Still that's 10x speed 🤤

My Redmi k50 gaming doesn't show the 5G option. Only LTE, 3G and 2G. Sad!

[cherryberry]

I don't have 5g on my other phone but it is showing 5g even though I keep at 4g.n now my internet is not working. Wat to do.... I tried everything like going to settings n keeping at 4g, switch off n on, keeping for few minutes on airplane mode. Etc... Help... Wat to do...

I can't use jio5g on my device mi10 i at Delhi . How to resolve it?
Pls anyone?

[kabukidreamboy]

Does this phone do the same as my Poco F2 Pro? I have a Vodafone and a 3 sim and when I set 5G for my Voda sim it turns the 3 sim off completely which is obviously not ideal for a dual sim device!

[baminnanu]

I tried but still my network is 4g why that happening

[x_tomthegamer_x]

My car didn't connect to bluetooth because of 5g, spent 3 days to find that out, so thank you for this video

[mughalbaba]

please sir help me.
I'm from Pakistan...

I have a question.
I use my Mi 10t lite 5g as a hotspot for home WiFi.
I would like to use the 5Ghz hotspot AP band.

Even though the phone shows the option in
settings/ portable hotspot/ setup/ AP mode, when selected most (not all) devices won't connect (I think some may be auto switching to 2.4 GHz?)

The same setting using the same SIM in my old Huawei phone gives instant connection to for instance, my TV streaming device.

I've seen discussion regarding Xiaomi blocking 5g hotspots in Europe.
Can't get an answer from them, and it phone still displays the mode.
Any ideas for a workaround?

[anurag]

I have same device Mi10T Pro 5G and this device doesn't support Stand Alone 5G (SA) it only supports None Stand Alone 5G (NSA 5G) and this is a bummer for me as they are unable to provide software update to enable Stand Alone 5G this device has become a 4G device for me. A waste of money device for me 👎

[GlobalNomadever]

Thank you. And how to disable 5G wifi? Only operate on 2.4G wifi and not looking for 5G wifi. My aim is to reduce radiation, especially the 5G.

[rajborkar]

Oh god i think there is something important 😢 this is obvious.. need to select 5G but still I don't have 5g network
