Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - WiFi Issue

[thatotherdude24]

I am having strange WiFi problems with my Note 2, I've never heard of anything like this.

It will only connect to 5ghz wireless. Whenever I try to connect to 2.4ghz wireless it gets to the 'obtaining IP address' phase and then just goes to saved. I think I come across something though, I went into advanced settings and the IP address it shows is '192.168.1.X' my network is '192.168.0.X' so how do I stop my phone from trying to connect to the wrong network? It's not just on my network it's every 2.4ghz network I try to connect to but 5ghz works just fine and uses the proper '192.168.0.X' network.

I have not done a factory reset, I'm trying to avoid losing everything but if that's what it takes I will. Before though does anybody have any ideas?

You're saying it's hardware?

I still cannot get the phone to connect to 2.4GHZ wireless.

Seems that way based on the link I posted.

I had this issue on my note 2. I did factory reset, Odin back to stock and still had the issue. Called Verizon and they ended up giving me a replacement. Never had the issue after getting the new one.
