I'm looking for ways to prevent my devices from using 5G. In the past, I had an iPhone and a Windows computer, but I was frustrated by the lack of options to disable the 5G feature completely. It felt like my devices were using 5G without my consent, which was really inconvenient. Now that I'm using library devices, I hope to find a better solution. Are there apps out there that can help, or would switching to Linux solve my issues?

You might want to check how your WiFi is set up. If your library devices connect to a 5GHz WiFi network, you could simply opt for the 2.4GHz band if it's available. As for apps, I'm not aware of any specific ones to block 5G, but changing the network settings on your devices should help a lot.
A simple solution might be to switch to a mobile carrier that doesn’t use 5G. This way, your phone won't connect to any 5G networks at all. It’s also a good time to explore if you can disable network settings on your devices through system preferences. Just make sure to check those options.
If you're talking about 5G mobile networks, you can usually turn it off in the settings on both iPhones and Android devices. For computers, it can get a bit trickier since many don’t have 5G capabilities. Could you clarify if you're referring to 5G cellular service or just the 5GHz WiFi band? They aren't the same thing.
Just an off-the-wall suggestion: if you're really worried about 5G signals, maybe investing in some signal shielding could help ease your mind. But realistically, most devices don’t even have 5G capability unless they're specifically designed for it.
