802.11AX issued solved

SSID: NETGEAR28-5G
Protocol: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Security type: WPA3-Personal
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Description: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz
Driver version: 22.170.0.3
Network band: 5 GHz
Network channel: 153
Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 1201/1201 (Mbps)

I was checking out my wireless connection and it seemed it was on 802.11ac not 802.11ax for some time, I upgraded the WiFi 6 router to latest firmware and have AX checked marked to run and got an update from Intel on the WiFi and Bluetooth adapters today after going thru device manager I set the adapter to AX mode several times and Windows popup came up saying Windows 11 supports Wifi 6 and here is how to check it, now windows task manager and WiFi properties show 802.11ax is the protocol, Getting network band to run at 6 GHz requires a 6E WIFI router and an Intel Wifi AX211 card, card is inexpensive the 6E router is not mainstream yet and so expensive.

Hello 3Fees,

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.

Since it is not clear to me, I would like to know if you require support regarding the connectivity with the 6 GHz band or another issue. Are you only reporting that a previous problem is now solved?

Best regards,
