Are you seeing the IoT network on any other devices? Does it re-appear if you reapply the original security setting?
Unfortunately, you seem to facing an unusual number of issues recently.

Yes the other devices see the lot network, and it reappear after placing it back. Actually I've faced faced 2 issues recently one in which the new firmware fixed and now this.

Checking this I have set WPA3 only set on my main WLAN and IoT enabled on 5Ghz with WPA2 only set. Android connected on IoT network and iPHone connected on main WLAN:

The tricky part about this is I have other android phones like my google pixel 10 which seem to connect fine with the 5ghz so its just the samsung thats lock to the 2.4ghz

FWIW, there is a discussion thread about this on the samsung community forum:
The simplest test there is to put the phone into airplane mode (with wifi enabled), and see if that makes any difference.

IF you set up the IoT network for a 5Ghz SSID and set OPEN security temporarily, Does your one phone see the 5Ghz SSID name and can it connect to it?
Then set the IoT network for WPA2 and see if it will connect to it?TOPS119 wrote:

I carry the phone to another home that has a Google Wi-Fi and the phone connects to 5g with no issue. It wasn't a wifi 7 router but the phone wasn't stick on the 2.4 band
