GrapheneOS would solve this issue permanently.
Or lineageos if you want something usable and not developed by a lunatic https://youtu.be/4To-F6W1NT0
Google TV 4K only supports 5Ghz WiFi on channels 36, 40, 44 or 48. Their well aware of the issue and haven't done anything to fix it since its release 2 years ago. Discovered while helping a friend set his up. Most consumers don't know how to channel peg WiFi. Seems like a massive flaw, adjusting WiFi to suit one device? Really does not inspire confidence spending money on any Google product. https://old.reddit.com/r…
The 5ghz spectrum in the US is broken up into UNII 1, 2, 2 Extended, and 3, which all have their own separate FCC regulations and certification process. Lazy manufacturers for these types of devices don't want to go through more than one process, especially for UNII 2 and 2-Extended channels, which have stricter requirements. So they just do the lower channels.
Until recently pixel did not allowed 5G in several Europeans countries, it was sw disabled. Meanwhile they activated it some weeks ago because they are launching the phone officially there . This kind of things is just stupidity, no one in the world does that why would they do? To provide a bad experience? It seems that they have a product team full of lawyers. Instead of putting sw engineers working on these blocks…

can’t connect to my 5ghz wifi (80mhz/channel 149).
and the ethernet connection is only 100Mbit.
If that's real, that is insane. Why buy a pixel? You have to go out of your way to develop this feature too? It's not like there is anything country specific about connecting to wifi. People had a meetings discussing this and thought it was a good idea and some developer actually coded this.
Yes there is. Each country has a lot of different laws and certifications necessary to operate radio equipment in the country.
> Why buy a pixel?
The odds of me going to Sri Lanka or pretty much any country affected by this is practically zero. Why would I base my purchase decision on something that's got like a 0.001% chance of ever affecting me instead of the myriad of other things that'll affect me every day?

LG OLED55C8PLA, launched in 2018. expensive, but incredible display: https://www.lg.com/uk/tvs-soundbars/smart-tvs/oled55c8pla/ can’t connect to my 5ghz wifi (80mhz/channel 149). and the ethernet connection is only 100Mbit.
Like, it’s literally just bad. I don’t even know where my LG remote is.
So if you ever go on holiday, its safer not to buy a google pixel? Who comes up with these dumb ideas.
Lawyers. Regulators. Politicians. Most countries are swamped with regulations that are inflexible, insist on not recognising testing/accreditation done in other countries by default, exist to provide a moat for an entrenched interest group, etc.

Honestly, there’s literally no reason to use the LG WebOS software though. Like, it’s literally just bad. I don’t even know where my LG remote is.
