mailsanchu, Thank you very much for providing that information and the SSU report.

For this scenario, it is important to mention that all the drivers that we have available on our official website were tested and validated for Windows* as Operating System:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/windows-10-and-windows-11-wi-fi-drivers-for-intel-wireless-adapters.html?wapkw=ax210

Additionally, we always recommend to install the wireless driver provided by the manufacturer of the computer, since that driver was heavily customized by them to work with your specific platform.

I looked on HP's website and also they do not have a wireless driver available for Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS version: 

https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/precision-17-7760-laptop/drivers

Based on that, I will do further research on this matter to try to find a possible solution for this matter or to direct you to the proper department for support. As soon as I get any updates, I will post all the details on this thread.

Hello mailsanchu, I just received an update on this matter.

While we are still working on this matter, we suggest to upgrade your kernel to the latest stable version available. If the issue continues after that, then please provide a dmesg log file.

Hello mailsanchu, I just received an update on this matter.

After reviewing the case, for this scenario, we recommended to use the latest mainline kernel 6.2 which will contain the Wi-Fi firmware ver. 72.

If the system still can't scan the 6E channels with kernel 6.2 (Wi-Fi ver. 72), then please try to:

Update the BIOS to the latest version, and check with Dell Support if the system BIOS blocks the 6E channels:

Check this issue with Ubuntu Support or with the manufacturer of the wireless router :
