Yes, my wireless router has "5G WiFi" but only does 4G. I didn't have a choice about using it since it comes from the provider, but still stupid.

5G and 4G are not terms applied to WiFi. We have 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and WiFi6/7
WiFi operates in the 2.4, 5, 6GHz bands, but those frequency bands are not used to differentiate WiFi standards because you can mix and match WiFi 6/7 on all three bands.
There are also more WiFi bands below 2.4 and above 6GHz, but they're not common worldwide.
> 5G and 4G are not terms applied to WiFi.
Tell that to Netgear, AT&T and several other Wifi hub manufacturers.
The default SSIDs on many hubs are names like “NETGEAR23” and NETGEAR23-5G”.
What is 5G WiFi? Do you mean 5Ghz WiFi?
