Windows 10: 5GHz Wi-Fi Connectivity issue Win-11

It seems that my laptop is unable to connect to the 5GHz network. Previously, I had no trouble connecting, but now it struggles to authenticate my device. After entering the password, it spends some time in "verifying and connecting" before ultimately failing to connect to the network. Other devices have no trouble connecting to the same 5GHz network, and the 2.4GHz network works fine. Therefore, the issue appears to be specific to the device.Below is the solution to the above issue. Thanks!
