Wifi 6E support

English Network/Internet

I own an Asus tuf Z790 pro wifi motherboard that has an embedded intel AX wifi chipset as well as an Intel 2.5gb ethernet controller. On windows I can speedtest up to about 1.1gbps using Wifi 6E on an eero router the ISP provided, on Linux the most I can get is just over 700. I do a lot of big downloads so if there is a way to enable wifi 6E on Tumbleweed that would be amazing. I looked through the iw help doc after installing it on tumbleweed, and I only see options to enable 2.4ghz or 5ghz connections. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

I’m using an AX210 intel adapter and the average WI-FI download speed 1 get is 1.3Gbps on Tumbleweed.
In the past few months, I had some speed degradation after “buggy” system updates, but they usually were solved in a few days.
