Do you know if the WiFi signal is being broadcast on the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz channels?

I have the same problem with wifi connectivity with my Ellipsis 8.   How can you tell whether you are in 2.4 or 5?

You can use an application to view the type of wifi signal that is in range of your device.

Hi, parismom. Thanks for checking in on our community forum. Since this is a pretty old thread, I just want to make sure we're dealing with the exact same situation. Your Ellipsis 8 tablet will not connect to some WiFi networks, but your Ellipsis 6 as well as other devices will connect to those networks without issue? Is your tablet fully up to date on software?

Hi eric,

yes, you have the situation correctly.  The problem is that I’m unable to connect to wifi so I’m unable to download an update. Thanks for looking into this for me.
