Would this be a feasible workaround? Append the frequency to the name of your SSID (5Ghz or 2.4Ghz, depending what it's set to). For example, you could name an SSID : MyExampleWiFiSSID_5Ghz.

@stevewhims Thanks for your help,But name my SSID with 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz dosn't really change the frequency of the mobile hotspot . I am using Qualcomm QCA9377 WiFi chip .There is an option in Windows 10 settings - Mobile Hotspot - Edit can actually config the SSID Passphrase & band frequency (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz),But with NetworkOperatorTetheringAccessPointConfiguration Class I couldn't config the band frequency. Or maybe is there any way I can call the Edit dialog using any code? Just like ms-settings:network-mobilehotspotedit can call Mobile Hotspot Settings Window. My English is not good enough ,Wish you don't mind.

I don't know whether this will help, but here are some more thoughts/info. Normally, a physical wireless router supports dual band (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz). By default, many of these routers come with dual band enabled by default. So, setting up two access points doesn't normally require two independent routers - it is simply a configuration change. Also, wireless manufacturers discourage the configuration of dual band routers with the same SSID because clients connecting to the access point can get confused and have connectivity problems if the adapter supports only one band. Hence, it is recommended to set up different SSIDs for different bands.

Are you able to configure the router to broadcast different SSIDs by band? The API doesn't support configuring which to prefer, so that would be your option.
