6 GHz (Wi‑Fi 6E) Checklist
--------------------------
- Windows 11 (22H2 or later recommended).
- Intel® Wi‑Fi driver up to date; AP supports 6 GHz/160 MHz; region set correctly on AP/OS.
- If 6 GHz SSIDs do not appear, verify country/region, time/date, and AP firmware.

Troubleshooting
---------------
- Bluetooth device not detected:
  • Ensure the internal USB header cable is connected correctly.
  • Check Device Manager for “Unknown device”, then (re)install BT drivers.
- Low throughput or unstable links:
  • Confirm antennas are firmly attached and placed clear of metal shielding.
  • Ensure AP/channel width allows 80/160 MHz; avoid congested DFS channels if possible.
- No 6 GHz networks on Windows 11:
  • Update Wi‑Fi driver and AP firmware; confirm regulatory domain and that 6E is enabled on the AP.

Uninstall
---------
- Use Windows “Apps & features” to remove Intel® Wireless Wi‑Fi / Bluetooth software, or roll back via
  Device Manager if needed. Reboot after uninstalling.
