Hi,
unfortunately, I do not know how to help with your actual issue; just for anyone reading, according to the specifications, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ actually does have 5 GHz Wifi: "2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11.b/g/n/ac wireless LAN"
Contributions to the project are always appreciated, so if you would like to support us with a donation you can do so here.
