Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 (680A2AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

The laptop fails to connect to a 5Ghz Wifi network, the network name is visible, when i try to connect it takes several seconds and throws the error 'Can't connect to this network'. The problem is only with the 5Ghz wifi not with 2.4Ghz. The problem exists since the day i bought the laptop, it is only 10 days old.

OS - windows 11 22h2

Driver: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz
