@schwidi
Thanks for the info.
I'm unaware of a simple way in Linux to determine the WiFi connection details down to the specific protocol level. (as opposed to MS Windows, MacOS, and Android).
However, the fact that the Linux configuration utility iw returns HE capability info suggests to me that your adapter and associated kernel driver possibly support IEEE 802.11ax (aka WiFi 6) and IEEE 802.11be (aka WiFi 7).
For reference
IEEE Wi-Fi Mode
Std Alliance
"mark"
802.11n Wi-Fi 4 HT (High Throughput)
802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 VHT (Very High Throughput)
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 HE (High Efficiency)
802.11be Wi-Fi 7 EHT (Extremely High Throughput)
Note: I used "mark" to point out these are marketing labels
How did you determine that you have no WiFi 6?

Kent
