X5000R wireless 5GHz issue

Hello gurus, I am not a Linux newbie here, very limited knowledge of configuring CLI commands. Is there a way to get the 5GHz radio working? I was able to enable the radio, but after doing the necessary wifi settings, like wifi password, the radio refused to fire up? I using the latest release 21.02.2. Is there a working snapshot release that someone can share it so that I can install it? Appreciated it if someone can guide me in overcoming this issue. Many thanks [X5000R 5G…

A forum user was able to solve this problem by doing it the manual way.
That is editing /etc/config/wireless file.
