Many thanks for the definitive answer, it's appreciated!

Thanks for your reply "chewitt"!!

I think people need to re-read my original post. Maybe I'm actually asking for an additional feature, but I believe a feature that will improve the product, libreELEC, which is an excellent product.

Let's keep things simple: Libreelec has a feature under "Setting/LibreELEC/Network/Wireless Networks (Active)" called "Enable 'tethered' Wireless Access Point". If I enable and set things up, I can connect with my remote device's WiFi (so, my mobile phone in this case) and connect to the Internet over the 2.4Ghz frequency. Great! The feature works Now the part which really concerns my question. I have got LibreELEC, running on a PI 3B+ and a Pi4 which can handle the 5Ghz frequency, but I cannot connect on the 5Ghz channels/frequencies. It would be great to connect using my 802.11ac capable devices, so 5Ghz, so I can have far faster Device <-> Pi/LibreELEC <-> Internet speeds.

My guess is LibreELEC cannot support 5Ghz/802.11ac yet??? No problem if it is not supported, but maybe someone the development team would be interested in implementing?

Don't understand what you are trying to tell me. I have a Pi4 with libreelec. I use the Ethernet connection for most things, so I'd like to use the Wifi as an Access point. It works fine at 2.4 Ghz, but 5.0 Ghz doesn't.

As I wrote in my previous post I can connect my Pi4 to my Netgear 5 Ghz router.

I want to use the Tethering/Access Point feature on my Raspbarry Pi, and I want to use the 5 Ghz frequency. I've installed Network tools, but no matter what I try, as soon as I select "Enable 'tethered' Wireless Access Point' things appear to drop back to 2.4 Ghz. I'm assuming that the feature needs updating so that Libreelec offers 2.4 and 5 Ghz AP availibility? Is there anything I can do to force 5 Ghz? BTW - connecting the Pi as a 5 Ghz client works fine.
