Beginner Basics • almost giving up

Just got a new chateau 5g and i almost giving up trying to set it up.
cannot make the 5gh wifi to allow connections, can only connect to the 2.4 and the speed is bad. found something on the forum about channels but i cannot select any, tried lower frequencies, nothing. since i came from a really easy interface like tp-link and hoping to learn more about routers, i am now laughing qas i am almost giving up after 2 hours of trying to just make the faster wifi work.
tried severqal resets. clueless. :s

any good tutorial to follow step by and step and understand what is what? so many terms and so many information that uses language that i don't see in the interface, lol. like "your country might not accept higher channels" but i cannot edit anything in channels, just in frequencies and that is a range. reproduced every single setting from 2.4 to 5 and still cannot connect or when i somehow did manage to do so, no ip...

using pppoe on eth1, no mobile.
PC on eth2 950 Mbps, wifi on phone max 160 Mbps.
Prev router 870 max on wifi 5 GHz

cheers.
