You recently purchased a new Asus RT-AX88U and configured it for 5GHz using only 802.11ax. Despite updating the drivers to version 21.90.3.2, your PC still can't connect to the network. The built-in adapter is labeled as 160Mhz, but you're missing the option to choose 802.11.ax in advanced settings. What should you try next?

The adapter uses 802.11ac, but you anticipate it will work only on Wi-Fi 6 networks. This is unusual since 160MHz support was available with AC, yet it seems like a poor decision. Even with Wi-Fi 6, it shouldn’t be relied upon. Upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E at 6GHz would make the 160MHz capability more useful.

Choose a compatible WiFi 6 adapter or configure the 5GHz radio for AC/AX devices. You won’t realize the advantages of WiFi 6 unless you opt for the proper setup. Avoid using a 160MHz channel width unless you have a dedicated 5GHz band. An 80MHz width works well in most cases. Ignoring nearby WiFi usage is disrespectful to others who share the spectrum.
