One of my housemates ahd the same problem after we installed the Netgear Orbi RBS753 Mesh Wifi 6 system from Costco. Her laptop couldn't see the network.
Turns out there are a few models of Intel Wifi Network Adapters that don't play well when "AX Features" are enabled-- Here are the models from the post:
"...If your Windows device is not detecting your AX router’s wireless network, you might have an older Intel (R) wireless network adapter (some older Intel adapters include: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-3160, AC-3165, AC-7260, AC-7265 and AC-8260)..."
My housemate has an Intel AC-7265. Once AX was disabled, like you, it worked fine.
Disabling apparently isn't an issue unless you already have started using Wifi-6 devices. Obviously eventually we all well, so this becomes more important in coming days, as there's no point in spending the big bucks for the AX system if we can't use it "enabled".
