regarding ax210 you mean in the fact will be not a ax210 cards? oO
By "popup" I meant is there any setting in there that relates to the different bands, 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz.
Yes, when the router was being tested there were people who had AX210 cards that worked perfectly and others that did the exact same things to install and could never get the 6GHz to work. It was thought at the time because these cards were coming from a lot of different vendors that some of them were counterfeits or not made very well. I know of at least two people who bought cards from a different source, plugged them into the same computer and made no other changes. These second cards worked fine.

I have no idea who the vendors were. And people only thought the cards might be fakes because they replaced them with ones bought from another source and they worked.
The one thing that stands out here is that you have a slightly different card than everyone else, all of whom had AX210 cards. You're the only person I've seen with that card so we don't have any history to go on.

Another thing to check is one of the version of the driver disabled the 6ghz on my ax210. I had to go into the device manager--->advanced and check to ensure it was enabled.
This is on a windows 11 device.

I have many cards of Intel Killer AX1675x :))))))
but i think this not a help if i will change by same another module....
are you sure that intel replaced some one persons and it will help for founding 6GHZ network?
- tonydiNov 19, 2021Luminary
Intel didn't replace anything. These people just returned the ones they had to Amazon and eBay and bought one from a different vendor. And since we don't know which vendor(s) may have been selling bad or good ones, there's no way to tell which one is safe.
At this point I'd say it might be worth just trying an AX210 (removed the drivers for the AX1675) and see what happens. You could always return it if it doesn't work.

you mean i need to try firstly will remove all Killer drivers from the system and after rebooting will install clear intel ax210 drivers? right?
- tonydiNov 19, 2021Luminary
Yeah, before you remove the AX1675, download the newest AX210 drivers (22.90.0) from Intel here....
Then uninstall all the Killer drivers, put in the AX210 card and install the drivers you downloaded from Intel.

Get rid of the "Killer" adapters and find "AX210" Intel based adapters.
