LibreElec not seeing my Wi-Fi network but seeing my neighbors

I am trying to connect my raspberry pi 3 to see my Wi-Fi network using the in built adapter. It does however see my neighbors network. Both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are enabled in my router. When I plug in a USB adapter to the Pi it does see my network. Even other operating systems see my Wi-Fi using the built in Wi-Fi. Why doesn't LibreElec and OSMC not see my Wi-Fi?

Have you tried OpenElec ?

It has happened to me, when my router was setup to channel 13.

Thanks raspi0w, solved my problem. Just one question, how come LibreELEC and OSMC cannot se routers connected to Channel 13?

Code

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE” > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf

The default "global" wireless regulatory domain has no support for channels 12, 13, 14 so a specific country regdomain must be set, e.g. ^ would be used for Germany which allows channels 12 and 13.
