Philips wiz lightbulb not connecting to Apple Home

I have bought a Philips Smart LED Lightbulb https://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/consumer/p/smart-led-filament-bulb-amber-5w--eq40w--st19-e26/046677555566 and I was able to connect to it with the Philips WIZ app.

However, I cannot connect it to Apple Home, I always get an error message that pairing with the device did not work.

My HomeKit hub is an Apple TV 4K A1842, which supports Matter, and the light bulb is Matter-compatible as well.

What might be the problem?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

In case someone is interested: the solution was that I had to my entire home network to 2.4 GHz, as Matter does not work on 5 GHz. Doh!
