There is nothing you can do from Nest Wifi / Google Home to force devices on either bands/ frequencies.

2.4ghz travels further than 5ghz, make sure the device in question is close enough to a Nest Wifi puch to use 5ghz reliably. Check the signal strength with your phone and an app like "Wifiman" for instance.

On some client devices, Windows for instance, you can force 5ghz only. Don't know if that's the case with Amazon Firestick, ask Amazon.

I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw olavrb's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.

Thanks,

Hey Stevlind,

I'm just checking in once more to see if you still needed some help on this or to see if you've figured things out.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff
