I'm not sure this is related, but I also had problems connecting to my 5Ghz
network recently on my AX201. It would only connect to 2.4Ghz.

After some experimenting I found that if I specified the 5Ghz network in
wpa_supplicant.conf with the exact bssid and a higher priority then it would
connect.

Later, I found that using the "Any BSSID" feature on net-mgmt/wifimgr also
works, which essentially adds the line "#+ any_bssid" to the network in
wpa_supplicant.conf.
