You Can Try Rooting It With Custom Rom Or Re-flash Last 6.0 MM Stock Firmware, To Check Whether If The Issue Still Persist. My Device On LineageOS & Works On Both Connection. Worst Case Reset Your Router & Update Your Router Firmware (If Any).

My samsung S5 works great, but it only connects to WiFi on the 2.4Ghz band. According to the spec, it supports 802.11ac, but I cant connect on 5Ghz, any views?
According to SamMobile, some S5 users in Europe using network-locked devices have just received another surprise OTA update a few days ago. No new features were added and no update to security patch level 2017-08-01. A security code has been installed to protect users from being exploited by 3rd party app trackers. WELL DONE SAMSUNG FOR STILL UPDATING 7 YEARS OLD PHONE! 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Anonymous, 29 Jan 2021Very good phone. Bought mine December 2015 & still going strong. Only a few screen freez... moreFlash Official LineageOS 17.1 With VPN + Antivirus, Definitely Up To Date. Could Try To Use As My Main Daily Driver Next Time. Battery Swappable So Is Fine.
Samsung Galaxy S5 users from the UK received a surprise update in December 2020, but GSM Arena and many other tech media failed to report about this. This surprise update is NOT a security update as the security patch level is still stuck at 2017-08-01. I guess Samsung must have installed a certification code for this device to prevent it from losing internet access. No other countries have received this surprise update as Samsung end support for S5 in early 2017.

Bought mine December 2015 & still going strong.
Only a few screen freezes and occasional 'sim card removed' messages.
I take great care of my phone and it serves me well.

Samsung please provide VoLTE update on this phone. I have phone purchased in UK, being used in India. I went to customer care in India. They refused to provide any help as phone was not registered in India. They said for Indian registered buyers VoLTE update is available. Please look into the matter and provide update OTA.

Anonymous, 11 Dec 2020Yes I think it's a battery problem. The battery is the problem, change the battery any battery that turns off like your former one is rejected by the phone, continue to test insert the battery until it marches, booth without turning off gain.
