RAXE300 not connecting wifi 6
I have a new laptop with a Realtek RTL8852BE-VS WiFi 6 802.ax card in it. I am using Windows 11 Home and all NIC and Windows updates are current. No matter what settings I use for WiFi 6 the rout...

the intel AX210 is a pretty solid 6E card. You can also get the BE200 (wifi 7) card for around the same price. Just keep in mind with the BE200, it isn't compatible with most AMD systems or older intel systems. Its an "e" only card and not an "A+E" card like the AX210 (or your realtek)
