iPhone 12 pro 5Ghz WiFi not listing

I cannot see any of my 5Ghz WiFi networks in my home network listing. I do get it working when I reboot the iPhone 12 Pro, but after a short while the 5Ghz disconnects and then it is no longer visible in the list of networks to connect to. The 2.5GHz WiFi networks work fine and are always visible. Earlier I had the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it had no issues and was very stable. Both 11 and 12 iPhones have 802.11ax so what's the issues with my iPhone 12 Pro? very frustrating.


iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

I fixed it. It was a region setting in my Router causing the issue. Each region has only certain 5GHz channels that are licensed. So I changed the region and rebooted my Router. All good now!
