Windows 11 cannot connect to 5GHz WiFi network
I have a problem with my new laptop. It has Windows 11 Home with the latest updates and Realtek 8852CE on the board. The problem is that it can see 5GHz Wi-Fi from my router, tries to connect but fails with an Cannot connect to this network error. But it connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without any problems. Other devices in the house can easily connect to a 5GHz network This is my router settings for 5GHz Wi-Fi: Authentication: WPA-PSK/WPA3-SAE (AES) Mode: 802.11a/n/ac/ax Channel: Auto Bandwidth: 20/40/80/160MHz Default settings for my Wi-Fi adapter: Realtek 8852CE WiFi 6E PCI-E NIC 5G Wireless Mode:
