How to permanently disable 6GHz / Wi-Fi 6E band on AX210 for product certification (on NVIDIA Jetson

[Gakobe]

Hello Intel Support Team,

We are developing a commercial product based on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin platform, which is running a Linux system with kernel version 5.15 (aarch64). We are using the Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 module (M.2) for wireless connectivity.

For our global product certification process, we have a strict requirement to completely and reliably disable the 6GHz band. The device must only operate as a dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) client, and the 6GHz capability should not be detectable or user-configurable.

Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Gakobe,

Please be advised that the Intel AX210 is client-STA device and our Intel wireless adapter is only a receiver. With that in mind, you may disable the 6ghz the bandwidth on the computer by following the steps below:

• Open Device Manager:
  • Right-click the Start button (Windows icon) on your taskbar.
  • Select Device Manager from the menu. 
• Locate your wireless adapter:
  • In the Device Manager window, expand the Network adapters category. 
  • Find your Intel Wi-Fi or other wireless network adapter in the list and double-click it. 
• Access advanced settings:
  • In the adapter's Properties window, click on the Advanced tab. 
• Disable the 6GHz band:
  • Look for an option such as "Ultra High Band (6GHz)" or "Wireless Mode" in the "Property" box. 
  • If using "Ultra High Band (6GHz)", select Disabled from the "Value" dropdown menu. 
  • If using "Wireless Mode", you may need to select a 5GHz or 2.4GHz option from the dropdown list. 

1. Confirm the change:

• Click OK to save your changes. 

If you would like to disable the 6GHz bandwidth, it is advisable to change it on the AP setting and disable the 6GHz bandwidth.

Feel free to reach out if you need any more help.
