Like I said, it isn't easy to follow your first message with its "telegram" writing style.
Take the first "sentence":
trouble shooting steps confirm that wifi network & access points lists the 5g & 2g SSIDs.
What does that mean?
What is this "wifi network" what are these "access points".
Do other wifi clients play nicely with the local wifi?
It sure sounds like a Windows thing.
Does the adapter work on a different device?
Have you looked at this thing in Device Manager?

That's good. An easy one for a change.
It is all too easy to get sucked into complicated troubleshooting. First try the simple things.

You probably need a degree in network engineering to understand that stuff.
