How To Turn Off 5g On Samsung S21 At&t

Ever feel like your phone is running on rocket fuel when all you want is a leisurely stroll? Maybe your Samsung S21 on AT&T is showing off its 5G prowess a little *too* much.

Here's a simple way to dial it back. Think of it as telling your phone, "Hey, easy there, speed racer!"

The Great Network Switcheroo: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Diving into the Settings Galaxy

First, find the little gear icon that leads to your phone's settings. It's usually on your home screen or in your app drawer. This is where the magic happens.

Tap that gear icon! It's like entering the control room of your phone.

Step 2: Connections, Connections Everywhere

Look for the word "Connections" (or "Connections and Sharing"). It's the gateway to all things network-related. Press it.

Think of it as finding the right switchboard in a busy call center.

Step 3: Mobile Networks: Where the Signals Reside

Inside the Connections menu, you'll spot something like "Mobile Networks". This is where you command your phone's network preferences. Tap that option.

It's where your phone goes to understand your command for network preference.

Step 4: Network Mode: Time to Make a Choice

Now you should see "Network Mode" (or "Preferred Network Type"). This is the crucial setting! Your phone is currently boasting about its 5G capability.

Press on it.

Step 5: Choosing Your Own Adventure (Network-Wise)

A list of options will appear. You'll likely see something like "5G/LTE/3G/2G (Auto connect)" currently selected. Time to choose a different adventure!

This is where you gently nudge your phone away from the allure of 5G.

Select "LTE/3G/2G (Auto connect)" or "4G/3G/2G (Auto connect)". The exact wording may vary slightly depending on your AT&T version.

Essentially, you're telling your phone, "I appreciate your enthusiasm, 5G, but let's stick to the tried and true for now."

A Moment of Silence for 5G (Optional)

Your phone will briefly pause, recalibrating its signal-seeking antennae. It's like a deep breath before settling into a more relaxed state.

There you have it, 5G is temporarily disabled. Your phone is now operating on a slower, but perhaps more battery-friendly, network.

Enjoy the Slower Lane

You've successfully navigated the network settings and given your phone a new set of instructions. Maybe you'll notice your battery lasts a little longer. Maybe you'll find you're spending less time doomscrolling because things load a *tad* slower.

Remember, you can always switch back to 5G whenever you crave that extra burst of speed. This is all about having options!

So go forth and enjoy your newly customized network experience on your Samsung S21 with AT&T! You're the master of your mobile domain.

And if all else fails, remember that sometimes the best solution is a good old-fashioned phone reboot. It works wonders!
