RAXE500 an Intel AX201 Latop

I just purchased a RAXE500 router. I am using a Asus Laptop with a AX201 Card in it.  My can see my 2.4 and 5 networks but not the wifi 6 netowrk.  My Phone see it no problem but my laptop cannot.  Any ideas how to fix that?

Intel's AX201 doesn't support the 6ghz band. 

The AX210 does. 

 

Wifi 6 is different from wifi 6E.

Wifi 6= 2.4ghz and 5ghz

Wifi 6E= 2.4ghz, 5ghz, 6ghz

6E includes the 6ghz band. So if you're device doesn't have the capability for 6ghz built in (as the AX201 doesn't), then you won't be able to see/use it. 

 

The good thing is, many laptop's have the capability of upgrading the wireless card. I've done it a few times. Might check out your laptop and how hard it'd be to change out.

Hi @SniperStorm ,

Please use AX210 with win11.

AX201 only support 2.4G/ 5G.

Can you go into a little more detail with this?
