Nonsense, sorry. A single common 5 GHz channel isn't enough. On one hand, the backhaul on 5 and 6 GHz (is this DFS now?) requiring at least 160 MHz bandwidth, and then the front end, which does again require yet another 160 MHz bandwidth.
Sure location is a factor here: ETSI and FCC systems don't co-operate as we perfectly see on the OP case.

TOPS119 - did you have this problem before Netgear told you to reset the router 5 ghz wifi channel to channel 44? Does changing it to "Auto" make any difference?

They change to those channels because auto gave slow speeds even after the reset. So auto made no difference

You might try 149, and see if the phone "sees" that.

These are the only channels available for me to choose from
