Unable to switch to 5GHz in Intel 8265 chip

Hi, I am qualifying Intel AC 8265 WiFi for our product. I am not able switch to 5GHz in this one. But I am able to switch to 2.4GHz. When i print iw list it shows No IR in the 5GHz band. How to resolve this?

I am getting this message

I think this is not an issue that we can directly resolve. Maybe asking Intel would be a better option.

The wifi card may have it own country code and where you enable the wifi channel may affect the result too.

If you take this error as search keyword, you would see some comments like changing the country code/regulatory. We also don’t have such tool for this since we are not wifi card vendor.
