iPhone does not show 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks

I noticed that my iPhone 12 Pro Max cannot detect 5Ghz WiFi. However, It is okay with 2.5ghz. How to fix this?

How did you determine this?


Unless the Wi-Fi network actually states it is 5GHz as part of its name, the iPhone won't really show any way for you to know if its 5GHz or 2.4Ghz directly. There is no way to tell what frequency a network is using directly on the iPhone.


Depending on how the Wi-Fi network is set up, the iPhone may only see one network name for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, but will connect to the strongest one.
