Have you set up the separate 6Ghz SSID broadcast and see if your card see it?

I am not sure if it is a Windows 10 Home thing or Windows 10 thing in general  (like @FURRYe38 )  I had a Windows 10 Pro version as well.

 

But, I am concerned about one other statement you made - and that is that you have tried to change the settings in the driver properties to use 802.11AX on the 5GHz band and it continues to revert back to AC.    Am I understanding that correctly?   You are going to the device manager, expanding Network Adapters, selecting the Intel AX210 card, right click on in and selecting Properties, then on the pop-up selecting the Advanced Tab, and scrolling down to 802.11 n/ac/ax Wireless Mode, selecting 4.  802.11AX and pressing OK?

 

If you do that, and it continues to drop back to AC, then that tells me maybe there is something wrong with that card.  Either it is not installed fully, or maybe the antenna wires are not connected properly, or something.

 

Did you install this card?  Did it come installed in that PC?   Is there something in the BIOS maybe that you need to change?   What brand/model is the PC?   What brand/model is the AX210 card.  Is it a separate card or is it a module that you installed on the motherboard?   If a standalone card - what slot in the PC did you put it in?    I've seen some of these card that require it to be in a certain type of slot and if you put it in an incorrect type of slot - it doesn't register correcting/work correctly.

 

You should at least be able to get to 802.11AX mode with this card on 5GHz - regardless of whether or not it can see the 6GHz channel (which again, may be operating system issue - not card or router issue).

 

 

 

OOOPS - Edited to add -   It can't be a standalone card - I see you mentioned it was a LAPTOP.   So it must be a Wireless Module - not a card.

Been mentioned that Windows 10 Insider build was needed to get AX210 working for 6Ghz. 

https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/ax210-window-10-21h2-not-showing-6GHz-networks/m-p/1338022

Doesn't mentioned the variant here however I can only presume its not a HOME version.

Windows 10 doesn't really seem to officially support 6Ghz so you may need to upgrade your Windows 10 to Windows 11...
