Desktop PC won’t connect to RAX 75 5ghz

My desktop pc wont connect to the 5 GHZ band of my RAX 75 router. My new pc is using a tp link ax3000 pcie card. Previous pc was using a ubit ax card and wouldnt connect either. Both running intel ax 200 drivers. I can see the SSID for my 5 ghz connection and select it however it will say "checking network requirements" then never really connects and says no internet. No other devices in the house have this issue. 2.4 ghz works fine.

If I change the wifi card settings to 20 mhz channel for 5 ghz it will connect but this defeats the purpose of having wifi 6 does it not?This has been going on for months and its honeslty frustrating. Ive tried different intel drivers and changing settings around on the router and nothing. Getting to the point if its not working soon I will just return the router to Costco and go with a different brand.

Any help? solutions? last ditch efforts?
