is it possible to disable the ability to use 5Ghz for the wlan0 interface? I only want to use 2.4 Ghz Wifi Networks. So only 2.4Ghz Wifi is available and 5Ghz is disabled.
thanks in advance

. Just add this line to your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
:
freq_list=2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462 2467 2472
Then your WiFi will only connect to this frequencies. For some more information and other frequencies you can look at Raspberry pi 4 b 5Ghz wifi access point problem.
modinfo -p driver_name
for a specific module parameter which would allow you to do what you want. But I doubt, because the chip, in all cases, will support 5GHz band ? BCM43455 Preliminary Data Sheet, maybe for the moment use another rapsberry-pi version ?
