I have never seen anything definitive that Windows ever put out an update that successfully supported WiFi 6E under WIndows 10. There were lots of "We will support on this update and then we will support on this next update". I've seen other comments from Windows that says that you need to be on Windows 11 to have native support for WiFi 6E.
There were some methods using one particular driver set and some registry tweaks that kind of enabled WiFi 6E support but that was the towards the end of last year I believe. The only device I have with a WiFi 6E card even had some issues with that method.
I finally updated the one PC with the WiFi 6E card to Windows 11 (even though it truly didn't support Windows 11 due to one requirement) and have full WiFi 6E support and have had zero issues with running Windows 11 on the PC that did not meet 100% of the requirements.

All Drivers are up to date
I do not have a computer capable of WiFi6E, and thus lack the personal experience described by @TC_in_Montana . Would you please consider verifying that the up to date device driver supports WiFi6E by navigating to the Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center. Select Change Device Settings (left side of screen). Then right click on the WiFi adapter, select Properties, select Configure. Then select the Advanced Tab. Here's what my old desktop WiFi shows:
My newer laptop has a lot more entries on the Advanced tab. Does yours have an entry for WiFi6E?

The Intel web site says that Windows 11 is required for the Wi-Fi 6E AX210 (Gig+) adapter to use the 6G wireless band:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000059385/wireless.html
Also, there is often confusion between WiFi6 (which is 802.11ax in the 5GHz wireless band) and WiFi6E (which is in the 6GHz wireless band).
I would hope that the Advanced settings for the Intel AX210 would include a setting that specifically mentions 6E.
Windows 10 certainly supports 802.11ax, so I have no idea what would cause the Advanced setting to behave that way.

Re: ORBI 960E NOT SHOWING WIFI6E ON MY LAPTOP
"WIFI INTEL ADAPTR AX210 6E all drivers up to date" This is a WiFi 6E supporting adapter. I have this one on one of my PCs. It does work for both Windows 10 and 11 though there was some info out there that MS didn't want to support 6E in Windows 10. Mines currently running on Windows 11.

Re: ORBI 960E NOT SHOWING WIFI6E ON MY LAPTOP
Thanks for the screen capture. Will be interesting to see if the OP's system displays the same information.
Could you please report the driver version number as well? (To see if his matches.)

Not much the Orbi can do if the laptop will not let you use WiFi6E (or even WiFi6) Bummer.

Re: ORBI 960E NOT SHOWING WIFI6E ON MY LAPTOP
I'll have to check, There was a specific version of driver that worked for me that was mentioned. I'll check my PC today and see.
I know @TC_in_Montana may have some additional info on this as well as we were both using these drivers back then. I was able to get my AX adapter working and connected on my 9 series on Windows 10 back then.

Re: ORBI 960E NOT SHOWING WIFI6E ON MY LAPTOP
As noted in my earlier post - the only way I was able to get the 6GHz band recognized under Windows 10 was to use a specific (and now OLD) version of an Intel Driver and then it also required some other tweaks. Here is a link to the website that showed how to do it.
While this gave some access to 6GHz band under Windows 10, it was not consistent, and did not show true connectivity speeds, channel, and at times would drop back to 5GHz. It was truly a "work around" that worked sometimes.
It's not an Orbi thing, it's not a driver thing, it's a Windows thing - and Microsoft's desire to NOT fully support 6GHz under Windows 10.

Re: ORBI 960E NOT SHOWING WIFI6E ON MY LAPTOP
For the wireless driver, you will need to use the link I posted (has dongknows in the website) and there is a download link there. It will take you to another website, with the download page.
Make sure you follow the directions in that link for how to install it - paying particular attention to which steps to follow based on current driver version.
For the WiFi Analyzer that @FURRYe38 posted showing connection to 6GHz - you can get that from the WIndows Store. (It is free).

I'll send you a link to mine when I get home so you can get it there.
I think those links are out dated.
