EX6150v2 does not see or connect to any 5GHz network

My EX6150v2 is not able to recognize, or connect, to any 5GHz WLAN network. Scanning gives no result on 5GHz, whilst all 2.4GHz WLAN available are all listed. However, for 5GHz the list remains empty...

I have a mesh network running on 3x Nokia "Beacon 3". It is a triband solution, with 2.4GHz and 5GHz propagating the same SSID. The solution has an intelligent channel management, selecting the channels on both bands according to the least interferences. Typically for 5GHz channel 36 or 112 is selected, with 80MHz bandwidth. The config is set to EU and also for the extender I selected Europe in the config wizzard.

There is not a single 5GHz WLAN that is scanned by the Extender, realy strange.

I've never used the nokia beacon so I'm not sure of how it works with 3rd party extenders. 

I would make sure to set the 5ghz channels on a non-dfs channel
