Can't get motherboard to connect to the 6GHz band of my wifi

WardedBowl403 · March 27

I have an MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard that supports wifi 6. I have my home wifi separated into 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands. My OS is Windows 11, and it can see the 6GHz band. Whenever I try to connect, it says "securing" with a moving bar for a long time, then it eventually connects and says no internet, secured. After about 5-10 seconds, it will disconnect and no wifi networks will show up. After another couple seconds, all of the wifi networks reappear and I auto reconnect to the working 5GHz band.

Any ideas?

My experience with the 6Ghz band. Worked for like a week then never did again (which was fine as it was only temporary until ethernet was run). 5Ghz offered exactly the same overall experience so no big loss there.

Good luck. Normal stuff, wifi drivers, router/ap reboot/factory reset.
