This is somewhat a duplicate of Ubuntu 18.04 don´t show 5ghz wifi. But first there might be some differences and second it isn't solved (the answer on the other post is not understandable to me and not accepted by the contributor).
I have a FritzBox 7530 which broadcasts on 2.4 and 5 Ghz simultaneously. I assigned each of them a different name and in the Wi-Fi-Tab in the "Settings" only the 2.4Ghz network is showing up. The currently connected network is the 2.4ghz one. The 5Ghz is named the same but with a 2 at the end. I am using a CSL AC1200 WLAN Adapter AC1200 (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B01M67XBJ4/ref=psdc_1626220031_t1_B01MR2X5OA) which is supposed to support both 2.4 and 5Ghz. Strangely I am able so see 5Ghz networks in the fritz.box-browser-interface which should be detected by the same adapter. As you can see the networks o2-WLAN84 and o2-WLAN60 are detected at 2.4 and 5Ghz in the browser interface.
I already tried setting the domain "DE" in etc/default/crda.

I tried the permanent fix from heynnema
at WiFi module 8812AU not working with kernel version >= 4.4.0-28-generic and restarted the PC but nothing changed.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
