 y S20 FE 5G  doesnt seem to see any 5 GHz   wifi networks. did a search   and others have  posted about this issue too. wondered if anyone has this issue and a  solution. im  running android 13 with the latest UI I can  only connect  to the 5 Ghz  wifi if i  add the network manually but even the it doesnt stick  so doesnt appear in available networks when i    go back to try to connect to it again after   disconnecting. verty  annoying especially as the S7 which i  previously had  never had  an issue seeing both wifi channels on my home   wireless network

the  issue is caused by the channel number which is being used by your router for the 5Ghz band. All of my other android devices and windows ones too see and are able to connect to my wifi's5 Ghz network Samsung'sS20 phones  seem to be limited  as to which channels they can see and use. There are numerous people globally having this issue so can only hope that a fix ( patch) for the Wi-Fi connection stack will be rolled out.  Till then the only way to  view and connect to  home 5 Ghz Wi-Fi is to  change the channel  for the 5Ghz band on your routers. ive tested and made the change and now my S20 FE 5G sees and connects automatically to the5GHz Wi-Fi network
