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?

For Linux, the frequency information comes from wireless-regdb, check db.txt to make sure some 6GHz frequencies are allowed for your country, and you can git clone and sudo make install to manually install it if your distro hasn't already updated it.

For Windows, you're reliant on both Microsoft and Intel to enable it.
