Netgear MR7400 (M7 Pro) hotspot + Intel BE201 WiFi card

A bit more information:

The hotspot broadcasts a 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 7) SSID that is visible to clients, however multiple Windows laptops using Intel Wi-Fi 7 adapters cannot associate with the network even though authentication is attempted.

Environment
• Router: Nighthawk M7 Pro (5G mobile hotspot)
• Security: WPA3-Personal only
• Client adapter: Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201 (320 MHz)
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2
• Latest drivers and BIOS installed

Observed behavior
• The 6 GHz SSID appears in the available network list
• Connection attempt fails immediately
• Windows Event Viewer reports: “The specific network is not available”
• RSSI value reported as 255 (invalid / no association)
• When forcing a manual WPA3 profile, the client attempts authentication but is rejected and roams to 2.4 GHz instead
• Same laptop connects normally to 6 GHz on standard home Wi-Fi 6E/7 routers

Technical conclusion
The client proceeds past discovery and begins association, but the AP rejects the connection during 6 GHz capability negotiation.

This strongly suggests the hotspot is not advertising one or more mandatory 6 GHz elements required by Wi-Fi Alliance compliant clients, such as:
• Reduced Neighbor Report (RNR) information
• PSC channel advertisement consistency
• SAE H2E negotiation parameters
• 6 GHz regulatory power type signaling

Phones connect successfully, which indicates compatibility fallback behavior rather than standards-compliant association.

Question:
Does the M7 Pro firmware fully implement PC-compatible 6 GHz operation for Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7 clients.
