Choose Mobile Network or SIM & Network, or something similar. On many Android phones, you can go to Settings and find an area that is usually called either Connections or Wi-Fi and Internet. Automatic generally includes 5G, while LTE All will take you down to 4G. Tap Launch Band Selection, and you will get a set of options. Samsung phones can download a third-party app called Samsung Band Selection (Opens in a new window), which can help here. Depending on your network, you may also be able to go down to 3G. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data and you should at least be able to choose between 5G and LTE (4G). This is especially advised for Verizon customers. It's worth toggling between different available network modes in case your carrier's logic is privileging newer systems over more usable ones.
Unfortunately, that sometimes means individual devices get stuck with very weak connections.
This isn't just marketing the newer a network your phone is on, the more efficiently it uses carrier resources, so it's worth it to the carriers to have as many devices on the newest networks possible. I've seen instances where a network will demand that a phone try to grab a weaker, more faraway signal just so it can get a "5" in the status bar.
