I have a dual-channel router and a dual-channel wifi device on my laptop Asus Strix GL502VS.
Because of some connectivity issued I had recently with a WiFi range extender at my house, I configured my laptop to only know the 5GHz WiFi so it never connects to the 2.4Ghz.
The problem I'm having is that Windows 10 takes up to 5 minutes to discover this 5GHz wifi connection and connect to it. Before that time, it sees the 2.4 connection and a lot of others from my neighbors, but it seems as if it only started to scan 5GHz channels after 5 minutes passed.
That is a problem, because I have to wait for 5 minutes after every Windows startup to connect to the internet. Sometimes I check every now and then the "available networks" panel but it only shows 2.4 networks, and other times I just wait without doing anything and eventually every 5GHz networks appear and it connects to mine.
I want to know if there's any way to configure my network adapter to start scanning for networks on 5GHz first. I have already configured it to prefer that band in Adapter properties > Configure > Advanced settings > Preferred band, but it seems that Windows is scanning wireless channels really slowly, or starting to scan 5GHz channels after 5 minutes for some reason.
I have searched over the internet exhaustively for an answer to this problem, but only found people having the same problem and zero solutions. I have already checked my wireless driver and it's up to date. I have created a wlanreport with
netsh wlan show wlanreport
and the last lines fo the report show this:

That first line means System startup in spanish, but only at 22:47:34 the first connection takes place.
What can I do to solve this? Is there a way to tell Windows 10 to just try to connect to this known 5GHz connection every time it starts up, instead of having to wait for it to scan every possible wifi channel and taking 5 minutes to find and connect to the only connection it knows?
