1.1. Optimized pairing over dual-band Wi-Fi with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

• (For Android only) Added a prompt for switching from a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network during device pairing. If users are found to connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, this prompt will appear and guide users to switch to an available 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. This feature can be enabled or disabled separately.
