Issues with iOS 17.0.2
I am having issues with my new iPhone 15 Pro. It does not see the 5Ghz option from my nighthawk router. I have contacted Apple and we tried numerous steps but they are speculating that it might be an issue with compatibility with the iOS version. Has anyone else had issues with their net gear routers on this particular iOS version?
My iPad, Mac mini, and iPhone 13 have no issues seeing the 5Ghz from the router so I know the router is functioning correctly.
Personally, I think the phones are defective but it is weird that both my wife’s phone and mine are having the same issue.

If your Pad, Mini and iPhone 13 are working and see the SSID then it would be the one Apple device with this most resent iOS loaded that needs to be looked into by Apple.

I have a Nighthawk R9000
What Firmware is loaded on the router?
Might give Voxels 3rd party FW a try.
