Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz not using wifi 6 instead of 5?

I just realized that I have been using wifi 5 (802.11ac) instead of wifi 6 (802.11ax) while my laptop is Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz,

I checked it in device manager and selected value 4. 802.11ax, but it still showing that I am using wifi 5 (802.11ac) in setting.

So how can I switch my connection to wifi 6 instead of wifi 5?

btw my router is Linksys mx10600, my phone connected it with wifi 6 so it wouldnt be my router setting problem.
