Can't connect to app on phone with 5GHz [ New ]

[pinnen]

Now it's December and I've just updated the software in my Hero 7 Black, but I have the same problem as many other users had have for a some time now.

How's it going on the patch front GoPro?

Hi @pinnen

What phone are you using?

Can you confirm that the connection works with 2.4GHz?

Please make sure that your phone, the app and the camera are all up to date. https://gopro.com/update/hero7-black

Thanks!

Hi Aragon,

It's a Huawei P10 with the latest OS update. And the camera have also the latest firmware.

According to other threads in this forum the problem occurs because the camera only use channel 161 (I think it was) on the 5GHz band. Which is a problem in Europe.

I've tried and connect to a iPhone 7 on 5GHz and that works (tremendous difference in upload speed) so the camera is "working".

I am surprised that GoPro have this problems with such a new product.
