iPad 11th gen won’t detect 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, only 2.4GHz appears

Hey everyone,

I just bought a brand new iPad 11th Gen (model A16), and it’s not detecting any 5GHz Wi-Fi networks—only 2.4GHz shows up. Here’s what I’ve already tried:

• Resetting the iPad (multiple times)
• Forgetting/rejoining Wi-Fi
• Resetting network settings
• Tried different routers (still no 5GHz)
• Checked on other devices (my phone connects to 5GHz just fine)
• Talked to Apple Support—they didn’t find any hardware issues

It connects to 5GHz only sometimes after a reboot, but once I turn Wi-Fi off and on again, it disappears. It feels like a bug or hardware defect, but I’m not sure.

Anyone else having this issue? Is it a known problem with this model? Would really appreciate any help or confirmation so I know if I should go for a replacement.

Thanks!
