According to the manual for that model (available here: https://www.manuals.co.uk/canon/pixm...5a/manual?p=46 ) it is indeed able to support only a 2.4Ghz only connection.

First thing to do is check how the home LAN is configured, and if 2.4 and 5GHz are split into separate networks, ensure to only attempt to connect to the correct one.
