The 2020.11.25.22 release (grapheneos.org/releases#2020.) will be a preview release meaning it won't be pushed out via the Stable channel.
We're changing our connectivity check toggle to support device owners restricting users from modifying it via an existing user management setting.

To support existing device managers, it will follow the existing toggle for restricting Private DNS configuration:

In the future, we'll expose more of these user management restrictions via the Settings app for the owner profile:

The new release also includes the latest Vanadium. It has a backport of an upstream fix for opening URLs in other apps on Android 11. Due to privacy and phishing issues, we're disabling the autofill assistant. Also disabling telemetry for component updates for when we support it.

Does android 11 support mean support for 5g and if so how would one disable that?

The currently supported devices don't provide 5G. On a device with 5G support, you can configure it to only use 4G and below with the standard Android Settings app.
GrapheneOS provides the fairly unique ability to disable support for older protocols too with the 4G only mode.

Does that mean Graphene OS for pixel 4a would work on both 4G & 5G variants? There's major hardware difference in both these variants.

I'm talking about how the existing network settings and our added LTE only mode work. It's not connected to device support. The Pixel 4a 5G is a completely different device from the Pixel 4a. I wasn't talking about anything related to that above.

Thanks for the clarification Daniel. I mistook it as running 5G devices on LTE only mode. The Pixel 4a 5G is indeed poorly named. I'm considering getting Pixel 4a once it is made available in India, so wanted to make it double sure. Thanks for sharing the FAQ's.

I was explaining that on a device with 5G support, you can use the standard Android LTE and below mode to disable using 5G. I further added that our LTE only mode can be used to only use LTE. It has nothing to do with which devices GrapheneOS supports.
I later got that what you were saying was about settings & not device support. This is similar to what is possible in stock android by entering the info mode through *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the LTE only mode. I hope the understanding is correct now.
