Hardware Needed

Please make Cam OG be available to capable with 5 GHZ Network not just 2.4 GHZ Network because most people have only 5 GHZ Network so can yall add 5 GHZ Network on future firmware

What WiFi router do you have that only does 5Ghz?

I think you are mistaken. There are access points that are 2.4 GHz only, but almost none are 5 GHz only.
Also note that the vast majority of IoT devices are 2.4 GHz only (because the chips are cheaper).

I am thinking the OP’s WiFi access point/router may have the 2.4Ghz radio turned off in settings.

..and 2.4 GHz travels further than 5 GHz.

You can’t add new hardware via a firmware update. The OG has a 2.4ghz chip only in it, and it will never support 5ghz.

I don’t know what you mean by “most people only have 5ghz”. Nearly every router and access point ever made supports 2.4ghz. Considering nearly all of the Wyze cams (and most cams out there) are 2.4ghz only, if everyone only had 5ghz, nobody would be able to use these cams.
