WiFi 5GHz problem with Android and Laptops

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I already developed a router with 2 AP wifi 2.4GHz y 5GHz everything works fine in IOS device iPhone, iPad, Mac but in Android devices and windows laptops I just can connect to 2.4 AP and I can’t see the 5GHz AP in my laptop the wifi driver is Intel Wifi 6E AX211 160MHz

root@864744040332726:~# iwconfig ath1
ath1 IEEE 802.11a ESSID:"DRQ100_5"

This is my /var/run/hostapd-ath1.conf

Any idea why I can connect from IOS devices and not from android?

Thanks

what is the output of

ubus call system board

You need to set country code to move off 5GHz channel 36

This is the output

root@864744040332726:~# ubus call system board
{
"kernel": "5.4.164",

}

This version is EOL and fully unsupported.
Further, it appears that this is not actually from the OpenWrt project in any way whatsoever -- it is a fork that is highly modified relative to official OpenWrt.

Please reach out to the vendor of the fork/SDK for help.

My contry code is MX for Mexico I also modify /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'wifi1'
option type 'qcawificfg80211'
option channel '36'
option macaddr '00:03:7f:12:2e:2e'
option hwmode '11a'
option htmode 'VHT40'
option txpower '30'
option disabled '0'
option contry 'MX'

config wifi-iface
option device 'wifi1'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'DRQ100_5'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key '123456789'
option hostapd_options 'ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40]'

Please do the setup from luci and format config blocks using
```
triple backticks
```

like this

same problem my question is how is created the file /var/run/hostapd-ath1.conf?

You also copied ht_caps from OpenWRT <18.x to 5GHz radio? It is list, not option since.
