The entire 6th series was missing the 5G support for months but finally, they did receive it with the March update.

If you are also in the same boat, then this guide will make you aware of the plausible reason for the same. Follow along.
Why is 5G not working in Pixel 7 Pro after March Update?
The culprit behind this issue is the latest version of network operator settings. Before the March update rolled out, the Network Operator Setting was at version eir_ie-43000000002.10 and 5G was working well and good at this build number. But with the release of the March update, the Network Operator Setting version got bumped up to eir_ie-43000000002.12 and this subsequently gave rise to the 5G bug. So the latest version of NOS could well be the reason behind this issue.
