Cannot detect/connect to 5GHz band after dual boot

Hi,

I'm very new to Ubuntu 18.04 (just dual-booted it on a Mac Pro 2015). Everything went smoothly, but now I'm not able to see my 5G band on the laptop. I can still see and use it when I boot into macOS. Also, the 2.4G band seems very unstable and keeps getting disconnected (the router is placed in another room, and it appears my connection is stable if I'm near it, but I never had this issue while on my macOS. It always gave me a stable connection even if I was in the other end of the house).

I did just quick searches, and then did sudo iwlist scan. It showed 32 channels, half of them 2.4G and half of them 5G, but only my 2.4G band was there. I couldn't find my 5G band.

iwlist channel gives the following:
Code:

wlp3s0    32 channels in total; available frequencies :
          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
          Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
          Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
          Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
          Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
          Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
          Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
          Channel 34 : 5.17 GHz
          Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz
          Channel 38 : 5.19 GHz
          Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz
          Channel 42 : 5.21 GHz
          Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz
          Channel 46 : 5.23 GHz
          Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz
          Channel 52 : 5.26 GHz
          Channel 56 : 5.28 GHz
          Channel 60 : 5.3 GHz
          Channel 64 : 5.32 GHz
          Channel 100 : 5.5 GHz
          Channel 104 : 5.52 GHz
          Channel 108 : 5.54 GHz
          Channel 112 : 5.56 GHz
          Channel 116 : 5.58 GHz
          Channel 132 : 5.66 GHz
          Channel 136 : 5.68 GHz
          Channel 140 : 5.7 GHz
          Channel 144 : 5.72 GHz
          Current Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)

lo        no frequency information.

None of the 5G channels are mine.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I have no clue what to do, and would appreciate any help!
