Hi There !
I'm Setting-Up a New Edge Router ( & WiFi AP ) . It's a 'Intel Celeron J4125' based 'NUC' Like System, with an Onboard 2x1GE (2x RJ45/8P8C) & a Self-Installed 'Intel AX210' M.2-2230 Card (Brand New).
I've Successfully Brought Up The System & Installed a 'Gentoo Linux' OS (an Old-Time Favorite) - Including a Linux Kernel Built with The Latest WiFi Regulatory DB as a Built-In Firmware,
But Only To Find Out That The 'Intel AX210' Card - While Successfully Enable AP Operation at 2.4GHz Frequencies (Tested) - Just Refuse To Enable AP Operation at Any Non-2.4GHz Frequency.
I Suspect That The 'Location Aware Regulatory' (LAR) Driver/FW Functionality Is To Blame.
Any Ideas ?

Hello @IAmMrZ
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.
In order to check this further, could you please provide the following information?
1- We understand this is a new deployment. Just to make sure, is the behavior occurring since the very first day? Or did it work fine before at any moment?
2- What are the maker/manufacturer and the exact/full model of this 'Intel Celeron J4125' based 'NUC' Like System"?
3- We understand that you integrated the wireless card into the system. Is this correct?
As per the Regulatory Information Regarding Wireless Hardware Installation or Upgrade, since Installation or use of Intel® Wireless Adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations (e.g.: some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapters to be certified with the antenna that is intended to be used together in the system, while some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapter to be certified at the full system level), did you check/confirm with your computer manufacturer (OEM) regarding full compatibility with this wireless integration?
4- Please type the following command to the terminal and provide us with the outcome: # lspci
5- Just for testing purposes (and if this is possible for you), please confirm if you are able to replicate the issue while using Ubuntu? If yes, please provide details.
Best regards,
Andrew G.

Hello @AndrewG_Intel !
1) It Never Operated Without The Herein Reported Issue.
2) It's a "White Box" System. See The Attached Photo For It's Physical Appearance.
3) I Did Integrate The System, Using Specifically-Matched RF Parts (e.g.: Antenna Pigtail Cables & Antennas). Also, I Assume Full Responsibility For It's Compliance of Local Regulatory.

5) Good Idea. I'll Try Testing It - Using 'Knoppix' (V9.1DVD-2021-01-25-EN) 'Live' OS, If I Find That's Possible ( Otherwise I'll Try Co-Installing a 'Ubuntu' OS ) & Report My Findings.

Hi There @AndrewG_Intel ! : )
1- It's All Brand-New Hardware & Operation Was Always With The Herein Reported Issue, Right From The Start.
2- It's a White Box System. For Any Specific Detail - Just Ask ! : )
3- Yes: I Did Integrated The Wireless Card Into The System. The Relevant RF Parts - e.g.: Antenna 'Pigtail' Cables & Antennas - Are Specifically Matched To This Wireless Card. As Per Local Comms Regulation, I Assume Responsiblity For The System Compliance With It.

Hi There @AndrewG_Intel ! : )
1- It's All Brand-New Hardware & Operation Was Always With The Herein Reported Issue, Right From The Start.
2- It's a White Box, Unbranded System. For Any Specific Detail - Just Ask ! : )
3- Yes: I Did Integrate The Wireless Card Into The System. The Relevant RF Parts - e.g.: Antenna 'Pigtail' Cables & Antennas - Are Specifically Matched To This Wireless Card. As Per Local Comms Regulation, I Assume Responsiblity For The System Compliance With It.
4- The 'https://community.intel.com/' System Just Won't Let Me Post The 'lspci' Output ! So Here It Is: https://pastebin.com/fyuUQEdg

Hello IAmMrZ
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
After checking this further, we would like to inform you that the engineering team confirmed that Intel® wireless products follow regulatory compliance and it is expected that AP mode cannot be enabled in non-2.4 GHz channels. We hope this clarifies your concerns.
Best regards,

That's Just Corporate Bad Attitude All-Around.
First, The Emanating Paternalism Don't Belong In Year 2021 & Most Probably Undermine My So-Called 'Consumer Rights', Too: While 'Intel' Might Suggest How I Operate a Product I Own, 'Intel' Generally Has No Right To Unilaterally Disable Functionality - Especially Core Functionality - The Product Was Positively Advertised To Feature (e.g.: Operation on '5GHz' Frequencies). Even More So By The Both Vague, Unstable & Unpredictable Means You Utilize.
Second, You Should Know Better Than To Make a "Intel ... follow regulatory compliance" Claim Here - Which Is Plainly Incorrect.
Fact Is That 'Intel' Make Law For Itself: On One Hand, 'Intel' Uses an Internal Firmware-uCode Hidden Regulatory Compliance Database (Unlike The Common Open 'wireless-regdb'). While On The Other Hand, That Hidden Database Is Utterly Out-of-Phase With Current Local Comms. Regulations Here In ISRAEL, Which Permit Operation on Many '5GHz' Frequencies (Regardless of 'Mode' - Be It 'Station' or 'AP').
For Example, See The Underside Label of a Commercially Available 'CPE' - of The Biggest Comms. Infrastructure Company In The Country (a 'Bezeq' Company - 'Be Router/AP', Model 'HT-138S') :
& This Is The Local Comms. Authority Regulatory Permit For It - Clearly Showing a '5GHz' Freq. Operation Permission:
( That List Is Freely Available For Download - Here: https://data.gov.il/dataset/items-appproved-by-personal-import ) .
Beside That Day-Clear Example, See The Attached Copy of The Current Local Law (Regulations) - Effective From 01/04/2021, as a PDF File: Clearly Allowing Both '2.4GHz' & '5GHz' Freq. Operation ( p. 2841-2846 ; Item#: 49, 55, 60, 62, 67, 68 ( #68 Replaces #67 - By 01/10/2021 ) ).

I can replicate this problem. I have an AX210NGW based card which so far I've only been able to operate as a 2.4GHz single AP with hostapd. I bought it to use in a router for multi SSID wifi 6E. No matter what I try it won't set the channel, same hostapd output as above. I've carefully matched channels available to the card from iw list to channels possible from regulation with iw reg get. Has any progress been made on making this work?
I likewise don't accept that there's regulatory issues with operating an AP on the 5GHz band as here, as I expect in the rest of the world, all modern wifi AP's operate on 5GHz.
I note that this chip can't operate multi/virtual SSID either. iw list shows:
valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed } <= 1, #{ AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
AP<=1. Is that a hardware limitation or a software limitation with the iwlwifi kernel module? And if software any plans to fix it?
I bought this as a high end card thinking it would be well supported in Linux as it's an intel chipset. Myth shattered. I have another AX200 based card has exactly the same problems.

@SteveR: You Probably Shouldn't Count On 'Intel' To Fix Their Broken SW/FW, Not In a Reasonable Timeframe Anyways... Since Unless You're a Major Customer, They Seem To Just Let You Dry-Up !
You Might Want To Evaluate Recent Solutions From Other Vendors - Such as 'MediaTek' ( See: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mediatek ( e.g.: MediaTek MT7915DAN - Which Is a 'DBDC' Solution ) ; https://www.asiarf.com/wifi-mini-pcie/ ) & 'Celeno' ( See: https://lwn.net/Articles/860150/ (They Have Quite Some Most-Advanced Solutions, But I'm Not So Sure About Their End-User Availability) ).

Hello IAmMrZ
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
In regards to this request and the previous information that you provided, please kindly refer to this article (we are aware the article mentions Windows but the same idea applies in general), regulatory limitations exist in certain countries where Hotspot/Soft AP is not allowed to operate on the 5GHz band by itself.
According to the article, could you please try to connect the Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 to a Hardware AP operating on a specific (passive) 5GHz channel, and then configure the hostapd to the same channel? Please let us know if 5GHz-hostapd would work or not.

@AndrewG_Intel It looks like Intel has chosen to disable standalone AP outside of 2.4Ghz due to perceived legal risk from regulatory issues. This is unnecessary, an excessive overinterpretation. Across the world 5GHz AP is permitted with country specific channel restrictions, indoor use etc. This is quite obviously demonstrated by the norm of wifi routers offering 5GHz wifi.
I wonder if the Intel legal dept have considered the other legal risk of selling a product deliberately made unfit for reasonably expected use cases. These wifi modules are client only, and not being described as such. They're being missold.
If you'd permit me a tortured analogy: you wouldn't sell a sports car with a speed limiter set at 20mph because that's the minimum speed limit and you want to completely prevent the risk to you of a customer exceeding any speed limit on any road.

@SteveR: Some 'Realtek' Solutions Might Prove Useful, Too - Such As Those Supported By The Linux Kernel Drivers 'rtw88' (e.g.: The 11/2018-Released 'RTL8822CE' On The 'TX2-RTL8822CE' Module - a '802.11ac' Solution ; It's Buyable Here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001208642479.html ) & Not-Yet Mainline 'rtw89' (e.g.: The 'RTL8852AE' On The 'TX2-RTL8852AE' Module - a '802.11ax' Solution ; It's Buyable Here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003008252340.html ( Mind You: This Module Was Only FCC-Approved On 10/2020 - So To-Date It's Very Well Could (Still) Be an Early-Revision - Production or Not - Hardware ! ) ) .
