Update the wireless adapter drivers. Both system vendors and Microsoft distributed drivers are often hoplelssly outdated. Not uncommon eg. windows wireless adapters don't see WiFi 6 systems. Issue exists on various Intel and other adapter vendors. For Intel wireless adapter updates, start here -> https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

Thanks for your reply. Just to be clear, are you referring to wireless adaptor drivers on the Dell laptop or on the Orbi WiFi router ?
