5GHz AP on RPi 3B+

Hi all,

I want to do the following. When I am on vacation I'd like to take a HDD USB and my Rpi with me. If there is no HDMI TV in the apartment, I want to connect my smartphone or tablet to a 5GHz AP on the new Pi.

So I created an AP with LiblreELEC. Not a problem but on a first test the connection speed was only 72mbps and the movies are always stopping. I think, that the AP of the Pi (Libreelec 8.2.5 and latest Leia Version) is not supporting the 5g network. Is it possible to create a AP with forced 5GHz?

Thankful for any idea.

regards

Not possible. It's a basic tethered hotspot not an access point. On/off and SSID name/passphrase are the only config options.
