I'm not surprised you're having issues with 5G on your iPhone 11 since the iPhone 11 is NOT a 5G compatible phone.

The iPhone 12 was the first 5G compatible iPhone...


If you're seeing in indicator that says "5Ge", that is not actually 5G. it is AT&T's enhanced LTE network they refer to as "5G evolution". It is 4G, not 5G. "5Ge" is nothing but a marketing gimmick.
