Hi SnFoR E, my name is Adam.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting your Xbox Series X to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network. Based on the information you provided, this could be due to a number of reasons, such as network interference, outdated firmware, or incorrect security settings.

Try resetting your network settings on the Xbox Series X. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

2. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.

3. Select Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address > Clear.

4. Restart your Xbox Series X and try connecting to the 5GHz network again.

If this doesn’t work, you can try the following steps:

1. Check if your router firmware is up to date. If not, update it to the latest version.

2. Make sure that your router is broadcasting the 5GHz network and that it is not hidden.

3. Try changing the security settings on your router to WPA2-PSK (AES) and see if that helps.

4. Move your Xbox Series X closer to your router to reduce any potential interference.

I hope this helps you get your Xbox Series X connected to your 5GHz Wi-Fi network.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Adam.
