Thank you for all your suggestions, but unfortunately nothing has worked.  Just for grits and shins I tried using the MediaTek MT7921 that I removed from my wife's PC last week, and it worked like a charm.  So, I don't know what it is about the Intel AX210 card that HP has apparently put on the whitelist and doesn't allow as an upgrade, but for me that is unacceptable.  Maybe an HP tech could look into to this further for me.

 

I will try the Realtek card, but I am not very optimistic about its success.

You might ask the same questions over at the Intel community.

This discussion was interesting as the mediatech7902 worked and the AX210 did not

quote "If the laptop came with a MediaTek card installed, then there is no support for CNVio"

 

I am guessing your laptop does not support CNVio but your wife's does support that protocol.

Hi, @BeemerBiker 

 

The Intel AX201 that originally came with the notebook is a CNVI card.

 

You can install a non-CNVI card in a notebook that came with one, but normally you cannot upgrade from an older CNVI card to a newer one.

 

For example, my opinion is that the Intel AX211 card would have less of a chance of working than the Intel AX210 non-CNVI card did.

Update:  I got the Realtek RTL8852CE and replaced the Intel AX210 in the laptop.  Powering on, I got BSOD, but the reboot got me successfully into Windows 11.  I installed the driver and was able to connect to my 5G network, but alas the 6G network was not found.  I have installed the latest and greatest drivers I could find.

Any suggestions on I how I can connect to my 6G network?  And if connecting to my 6G network is a lost cause, should I go back to the Intel AX201 card?

You have the latest Wi-Fi driver installed, so unfortunately, I don't know why the card isn't connecting to the 6 GHz Wi-Fi band.

 

These are the fixes included in driver version 6001.16.162.1:

 

Fixes an issue that causes sounds lagging from Bluetooth headset when connect to Wi-Fi and play online music. (RTL8852CE) - Fixes an issue where audio from the Bluetooth headset is delayed when the system is playing online music through a wireless access point. (RTL8852CE) - Fixes an issue that causes the Wi-Fi to perform poorly. (RTL8852CE) -

 

If it is not performing as well as the AX201 did, that would be the only reason I can suggest going back to the AX201.

 

Those delicate antenna wires can only take so much removing and replacing.
