Yes, but keep in mind you are loosing 802.11ac when you move to 2.4Ghz. The issue may be a bug in 802.11ac and by switching 2.4Ghz/802.11n you would not have issues. My Samsung tablet is very close to a Samsung Galaxy S3 in specs. The max it connects is 65Mbps on 802.11n and 2.4Ghz only. I dont know if it truly is a 2.4Ghz or 5.0Ghz problem. It maybe an 802.11ac issue since the S4 is on of the first phones to use it.
