Galaxy S21 5G--any way to disconnect from 5G and use 4G?

New phone since Friday. Got to work today and zero connectivity. Apparently we have a Verizon 5G tower almost in our parking lot so the phone is constantly connected to 5G service . . zero connectivity. Nothing loads. took out the sim card and put it back in. It connected to 4G for about 5 minutes and worked beautifully...until it automatically connected to 5G again and became a brick. Same thing when I restart the phone. I use my phone for work and cannot have it not connecting all day long. Any way I can just use 4G service at this point and forget about the stupid 5G which isn't working?

Thanks for the app link! Hilariously, the original LTE band 13 is best in Charlotte. It just works, and has ample bandwidth for normal internet to just work.

Does this actually work? Verizon 5G is pure garbage in my area averaging 1-2 mbps speeds (or slower) as compared to LTE speeds of 100 mbps or greater. Many of my apps won't even function given how awful their 5G service is. Cannot believe I'm paying for this garbage.
