Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200 Adapter Cannot Connect to a 6 GHz Band Windows Server 2022

[mx325]

I'm running Windows Server 2022 Standard 21H2 with nic driver version 23.60.1.2.  When I scan my wireless networks I don't see any of my 6Ghz networks, only 2.4 or 5Ghz.  If I reboot this computer into it's windows 11 partition and use whatever driver for the same nic it can see the 6Ghz networks.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hello mx325,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Based on the Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200 (Gale Peak 2) Product Brief (Page 2), the supported Operating Systems are as follows: Microsoft* Windows 11*, Microsoft* Windows 10*, Linux*.

But since 2.4 or 5Ghz are both detected on Windows Server 2022 (OS), this could be caused by OS limitations, but, let me check on this further. I will update this thread as soon as I can.

Best regards,

Hello mx325,

This has been confirmed by our engineer that your system and OS (Windows Server 2022) may detect the network adapter, Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200, but will not work due to OS Incompatibility. *Drivers will not work properly on the said OS.

Since this has been confirmed,  I will proceed in closing this thread.

Should you need assistance in the future, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.

Sincerely,
