Did you actually install the ax201 hardware? Downloading the software will not do anything if you do not have the hardware.

You have to install the ax201 card first. Then, you install the driver. The driver alone will not do anything for you.

If you want wifi6, purchase the ax201 card. CAUTION: Your device (laptop) must be able to support the ax201 card first!
