I am currently using an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160MHz chipset with driver version 24.20.0.4 on Windows 11 25H2.

Although this computer is connected to Wi-Fi 6E, the system does not display a Wi-Fi 6E icon. In contrast, Galaxy mobile devices correctly display Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 6 icons.

Is it normal for Windows not to display “Wi-Fi 6” or “Wi-Fi 6E” in the Wi-Fi icon? Have others experienced this behavior, or is there a known solution?

Below are the connection details:
