AX210 Can't See 6GHz Signal

Recommended Posts

I upgraded the AX200 in my HP EliteBook 855 G7 to an AX210. After swapping the chip and trying drivers from both HP and Intel, I'm still unable to connect to the 6GHz signal from my Netgear RAXE500 router. Our phones are able to see and connect to the 6GHz network, but not this HP laptop. My next step is to try a Ubuntu live thumb drive of some kind to see if it can see the 6GHz network. I purchased the AX210 from CDW so I'm confident it's genuine. 

 

In the RAXE500 settings, my region is set to North America.

HAHA ironic. I was scolling google trying to solve this and I also have the same problem with my AX210. I heard its auto 6ghz and doesnt show 6ghz bands but Im pretty sure It can. After hours and hours I was told to use an older driver and windows 10. that seems to be the only work around.

 

My internet is 1500mbps. and im getting 13-1400 with ac so perhaps at this time in history 6ghz is useless unless your internet is like 2gbps and up. I have the 6ghz band on my cell so I know its not the router. But im afraid its software(windows) and drivers(intel) causing the issue.

 

if your brave revert back to windows 10 and if your already on windows 10 reset or do a clean install and take it from there.

 

heres proof that im getting 1300-1400mps with a band that has better range. IMHO 6ghz is overrated and pointless if your moving around your apt/house as the signal will be faster with AC

found this it didn't work for me but alot of people with the AX210 are reporting good results, also file is safe

Those numbers are on wireless?  I am getting crap numbers on my dell.  I need to get a new wireless card installed in this pronto!  

 

EDIT: Just looked, I have an ax201.  I am going to replace it with the AX210 and see what happens.

avoid the AX210 and research a atheros card that supports 6ghz and thats it. i upgraded from 75mbps to 1.5gbps and the difference in getting games downloaded is shocking. i think i was getting a raw download of 150mbs on steam, took like 8 min to download gta v..

 

if  you do get a ax210 expect fast speeds and great range but 6ghz band appears to be locked out. doesn't really matter when your getting 1400mbps in 2023

 

@kojack get this instead its cheap/newer/ and def better

im getting 1300 with bursts up to 1459mbs

 

honestly the only setting you need to change with ax210 is in device properties enable thoroughput booter and set prefered band to 6ghz and just use wifi 5 as 6 is broken.

 

i went from 600mbps to 1450 so its a pretty big deal just setting one setting

 

heres 170mbs never saw this kinda speed in my life
