You could also try to downgrade this package, there's a link for version 2020.01 here (wish I saw this post before reinstalling os!): https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...9#pid67119
Thanks Jazzband, I confirm that after downgrading the firmware package and performing a reboot, 5Ghz network started to show again and I was able to connect to it successfully.
Pacman was able to open the .tar.xz file directly in the download , no need to use commands in terminal.
The network adapter firmware is now shown as available for update in Pacman, I just simply ignores it.

I just got my PBP delivered yesterday, everything went fine from booting and latest updates from pacman. This morning when I turned on the laptop it won't connect to WiFi. I tried deleting the WiFi connection and adding it again but no luck. It keeps asking for password authentication. I even tried using the privacy switch to disable and re enable it with a restart, but no luck it won't connect my WiFi. Tried connecting through the phone hotspot and it connects perfectly fine. Please help.

Hi Ashwinpatel, please follow Jazzband's suggestion to downgrade the network/NIC's firmware, using your cellphone hotspot to download. It helped me to fix my network issue.
