Nighthawk AX2400 WiFi 6 Router (RAX29) connects with my laptop at WiFi 5 (ac).  How do I have it connect with WiFi 6 (ax)?  My laptop's card is the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201.

 

Looking for the wisdom of the List (wotl)!

note: Neither Associated Products nor Model (above) do not let me mention my specific router, but I mention it above in the body of this query.

Some reading here would be helpful on your part:  https://www.wiisfi.com/

It is all good reference, but start with chapters 10 and 11.  Channel availability and channel selection is critical in establishing and maintaining an ax connection.

How is your radio frequency environment?  Do you have other Wi-Fi sources from neighbors or other hardware?

What is the brand name and model number of the modem/ONT connected to the internet upstream of your RAX29?

What is the physical distance between your router and your laptop computer?

How have you determined you are not establishing an ax connection?
