Cant see 5g on android box

When I use my cax80 I cannot see 5g. I could use it with my c7100v. The cax80 has Wi-Fi 6 and was wondering if there is a setting I could change for my android box to recognize it. I tried manually entering, changing ssid to the same for 2.4/5.

    Is Smart Connect enabled? 

     

    What FW version are you using on the CAX80. 

     

    What Android device model do you have? Is this the only device thats not working?

      It is the latest fw 2.1.3.7. Android TV Box 2022, RK3318 4GB 128GB Supports 2.4G 5.8G Dual WiFi/Bluetooth 4.1 with Mini Backlit Keyboard 3D 4K HDR Mini Android Box. This is the only device having an issue. But it did show 5g on older modem.

      Also I enabled and disabled smart connect. But, I think ultimately I will return it and get all fire sticks.
