There could be a ton of bands there, but it doesn't mean they support 5G.

5G isn't just a frequency thing. The phone needs the actual hardware in
there to do it, which is doesn't have.

802.11ax and 802.11a/b/g/n all use 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but they are totally
different bits of hardware in a device.
