Does the iphone 4s use 5ghz wifi

I wan't to use my 5ghz wifi on my iPhone 4S but it can't see the SSID for my 5ghz network. The specs page for the iPhone 4S states it uses:

802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz).


Does anyone know why this isn't working?

BTW - My iPad works just fine on the 5ghz network.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

No, it does not state that.

The 4S does not have the 5GHz radio.
