If it helps krwagnermitc FURRYe38 I have an AX210 in a Dell laptop. I was having trouble with WiFi, I found there was an updated driver -it's pretty new, version 24.70.0.3 - driver date 7/29/2026. I installed that and it's been humming on 6 GHz ever since. Here's the link to it on the Intel web page if you don't have it - note it specifically says it installs 24.70.0.3 even though the driver file is 24.70.0

Thanks, that's a useful data point. I'm already on 24.70.0.3 (7/29/2026), so the driver isn't the issue in my case, but it's good to know the AX210 works well on 6 GHz with it. The 5 GHz issue on my RBR is independent of the client anyway; a Qualcomm laptop and a TV show the same thing.
