We have a banking website which refuses to login when I connect on the 5G Wifi but allows me to login when I connect on the regular 802.11 WiFi (non-5G mode). How does the website login know which WiFi speed am I connecting on?

Perhaps if they try to call JavaScript functions that are not available yet… I would check the developer console for errors
