The UDR7 and the new computer's external antenna are in unobstructed line of sight of each other, in the same room, about 8 feet apart. XFCE's Advanced Network Configuration > Wi Fi > Bands is set at "Automatic" and the drop down menu only shows options for: "A (5 Ghz) and B/G (2.4 GHz)". I was expecting to also see 6 GHZ for WiFi 7's BE channels. But it's not there. I am not getting anywhere near WiFi 7 speeds between the Router and the computer. According to my Conky and IWCONFIG output I'm getting about 688 Mbs link speed.
There is no setting in the UEFI BIOS other than on/off for WiFi, although the Asrock manual does mention that WiFi7 for Windows (which I'm not using) is enabled in Windows 11 through a software update. So, I'm guessing that WiFi 7 in enabled by a Linux kernel update as well. I'm using the most current MX 23.5 AHS kernel (6.13.8-4-liquorix-amd64). From what I can tell WiFi 7 in Linux was initially implement back in version 6.5 of the kernel! Looking at posts on this forum tells me that various WiFi chips used in different user's gear has led to many issues regarding WiFi in general.$ iwconfig

What, if anything, am I missing to get WiFi 7 to work? Thanks for any help.
