In Raspbian Wifi on 5GHz models is disabled with rfkill

# Remove the rfkill disabling 5GHz
rm "/var/lib/systemd/rfkill/platform-3f300000.mmcnr:wlan"
rm "/var/lib/systemd/rfkill/platform-fe300000.mmcnr:wlan"

There are also reports that 5GZ does not work if country_code is not US: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2619#issuecomment-410703338

finally: reboot
