Intel 9560 nic

Occasional Visitor
Router is AC-86U.
New Lenovo laptop has Intel 9560 adapter, on W10 Pro, with latest Intel drivers (and standard settings).

Cannot connect in 5GHz network, for the life of me; only 2.4GHz.
While trying to connect to 5GHz, Asus UI reports for short time "wired" connection (???). And after a while connection fails.

Any insight on this?

Will other 5.0 wireless clients connect? Maybe re-seat the laptop antennas?

Is the router firmware current and reset?

Which 5G-channel is your router set to or using?
Do you live in EU (no ch. 149+ on clients) or somewhere else (maybe no DFS channels 52-64, 100-144).
 
Seems that Grisu nailed it.

The "universal" low channels (36,40 etc.) are working fine. The set 102 not.
The laptop origin is USA. Router is DE. Other clients in use are either EU or unknown (USA ???); but all working fine on all channels.
I am located in UAE (where most probably EU standards apply).

Intel declares that somehow the driver "reads" user's location, and behaves accordingly; whatever this means. Besides that, a client should be mostly concerned with TX, and not channels.
Most importantly channel 102 is usable in USA.

Looks that some communications with Intel is needed (good luck to me :().
 
Update...
Rebooted router, reset NIC driver and manually reconnected to the network several times (while set at various channels, both lo and hi).
Seems working; but driver has probably some problems to follow when router decides to change channel.

So no call to Intel yet :eek:; waiting for problem to re-appear or driver update.
