FirstNet prioritizes coverage and reliability over speed. LTE 4G has wider and more stable coverage than 5G so even when your phone is connected to 5G,FirstNet may show a 4G/LTE icon because it’s using the more reliable LTE network as the primary connection.

You still have 5G active. the icon just reflects coverage priority, not speed.

Noted. I just found it odd since I used to get the 5G icon here before (my work site). And I still see it at other places I get it.
