I have asus gaming router which works great on all devices. I have 2.4ghz and 5ghz, The 2.4ghz wifi shows up instantly when i boot windows but 5ghz takes a few mins to show. Why does this happen as my PS5 and phone ect.. does not have this problem?
📎 AI Summary:
The original poster is experiencing a delay in the 5GHz Wi-Fi network showing up on Windows, while other devices like a PS5 and phone connect without issues. The responder suggests this may be due to bandsteering, where the router dynamically chooses the best band for devices, causing delays. A solution involves manually assigning devices to a specific band through router settings.

sounds like a bandsteering issue
most routors work on both bands and will ask your device if it wants 2g or 5g... depending on distance \ interference this can take the few mins you are seeing as both options are tested by your routor
in general the fix is to set one or the other at the router i.e, always give the PS5 a 5g but each maker has their own software for setting these things
