A part of 6Ghz spectrum was recently (approx 4-5 months ago) was delicensed for WiFi usage in my country. Intel pushed an update soon after that to enable the 6Ghz band. Even my router manufacturer..TPLink did the same and my S26U updated to unlock 6Ghz and even on One UI 9 there is option for 6Ghz hotspot. The issue is, my router's 6Ghz Band can bee seen by my phone and it can connect to it too without any problem. But, my laptop is unable to see any 6Ghz network.. neither my TPLink router nor my phone's hotspot. Latest updates applied to every device. Any idea how to fix it?

which distro are you using? maybe the wlan card firmware being loaded on your distro hasn't been updated yet?

    Windows 11. Switched from Linux to check for compatibility issues.

    i see. on windows i'd suggest looking if there's anything you can try configuring for that wlan device on devmgmt.msc, there's usually a few options available on the 'advanced' tab. other than that, maybe try booting the latest non-lts fedora/ubuntu live usb? (as those distros tend to include proprietary firmwares and have better hw oem support)
