Broadcom wifi BCM4360 doesnt show some AP's [workaround:ed]

Broadcom wifi BCM4360 doesnt show some AP's regardless of 2.4GHz/5GHz.

Even after building broadcom-sta and b43-fwcutter + b43-firmware.

It's mentioned in the Arch wiki:

No 5GHz for BCM4360 (14e4:43a0) / BCM43602 (14e4:43ba) devices

Issue appears to be linked to a channel issue. Changing the wireless channel to a lower channel number (like 40 or, if your router show MHz instead of channel numbers, like 5200 MHz or 5280 MHz) seems to allow connection to 5GHz bands. If your router has the same SSID for the 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ, this can fix problems with your wireless connection being unstable or very slow.
I even tried making my router to do separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID/AP's but that didnt work either.

But turning the channel/frequency down solved my issues and now I can see my AP.

Anyone know a better solution for this so I can keep my high frequency channel on my wifi?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=jP_Bnmg62uQ:GkEmWx75OBw:F7zBnMy latest?i=jP_Bnmg62uQ:GkEmWx75OBw:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=jP_Bnmg62uQ:GkEmWx75OBw:gIN9vFwjP_Bnmg62uQ
