    IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz not using wifi 6 instead of 5?


    I just realized that I have been using wifi 5 802.11ac instead of wifi 6 802.11ax while my laptop is IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz,I checked it in device manager and selected value 4. 802.11ax, but it still showing that I am using wifi 5 802.11ac in setting.So how can I switch my connection to wifi 6 instead of wifi 5?btw my router is Linksys mx10600, my phone connected it with wifi 6 so it wouldnt be my router setting problem.

    :)

    I have a LENOVO with a non working touchpad. I found where my problem was. I needed to install the "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz". This worked for me.

    Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz does stop working after window 10 security update KB5016616

    I have an Asus f15 intel version laptop,
    Yesterday (the first time) laptop Wi-Fi suddenly stopped working. Then I did uninstall and reinstall the latest drivers multiple times. After five minutes, it started working again.

    Now today same issues come again, I did first uninstall the latest security update. Thereafter, Wi-Fi is working fine.

    There are a lot of errors in the event logs for the network.

    Miniport Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, {f135bd39-4af0-446a-8e61-1db56d9ee129}, had event Fatal error: The miniport has detected an internal error

    Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : Has determined that the network adapter is not functioning properly.

    Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz : A required parameter is missing from the registry.

    ACPI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal PCI Operation Region (0x4), Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

    But still, I am uncertain whether my Wi-Fi issue will come again in the future or not.
