I've got myself a new Raspberry Pi and installed Raspbian (fullest of editions) using NOOBS. During installation (i presume for package download) Raspberry clearly saw and was able to connect to my 5 GHz network. Alas, when actually running an installed OS the device only sees (iwlist wlan0 scan) 2.4 GHz networks.

How can I fix this?

Note: Network country setting is set to Ukraine and network is running on channel 40. I don't have other 5 GHz networks nearby to verify if this is specific to this configuration though.

See How to set up networking/WiFi

Most of us don't use NOOBS so its operation is a mystery.

It is a violation of the licence conditions to activate a 5GHz network without setting country code, which is why it is disabled by default.

Raspbian (at least a normal installation) prompts you on initial boot to set required parameters. NOOBS probably attempts to bypass this.
