So I have an Alienware M17 R2 gaming laptop which is WiFi 6 compatible and I'm using T-Mobiles 5G Gateway Internet which is also WiFi 6 compatible. Here lies my problem...when I go into Device Manager>Network Adapters>Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650w Wireless Network Adapter then right click to get into Advanced to change the Property/Value settings from Dual Band 802.11a/b/g Wireless Mode to 802.11ax Wireless Mode, the Device Manager will not allow the change. Both the T-Mobile Gateway as well as the Killer AX1650w Netwrk Adapter in my computer are Wi-Fi 6 compatible according to both of their websites. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions in regards to this matter. Thank you!
