Right QCA6174A but as Dell branded Killer 1535 a history of firmware and driver issues hopefully resolved by now.
I should mention can also search drivers by Dell Service Tag for laptops simlarly for Lenovo by their serial number.

I would not be so quick to say native generic drivers work better, same chip but that is where similarities can end.
OEMs including HP Dell and Lenovo have a long history about locking in customers to use their flavor of hardware.
This is particularly true for branded wireless network adapters, and remember this is a vendor brand of a rebrand.
Killer brand name was aquired by intel and 1535 drivers are no longer available on their website redirect to OEMs.
QCA61x4A, QCA6174A searched, OEM results and two Dell flavors are available depending on product service tag.
@Untribium did not mention which adapters in Lenovo laptops, so one can enter laptop serial numbers over here.
I also downloaded and installed this version of driver.It says 8 march 2022.
I installed and rebooted laptop but In Device Manager i still see 12.0.0.722 version of my driver but i did intall for 10.0.0.1238_A17_02.EXE

It should work with 80Mhz and 866Mbit without any problems.
If not any bad drivers are used.
"Bad drivers" - you mean an old? Yes i installed an old driver in the past because when i installed Windows 11 only old version of WI-Fi driver allow me to use Wi-fi network. With latest version my laptop did not see the WI-FI.[/quote]

I downloaded Snappy Driver Installer software for searching new drivers then i installed new Killer WI-FI drivers and it seems it's the latest version now.
Edit: Okay it appears Snappy Driver provided same as Microsoft above, good thing I included Windows 11 links.
Edit 2: Apologies the Killer 1535 driver I provided is Bluetooth only so not Wi-FI and BT driver package my bad.
Edit 3: 12.0.0.1257 matches two additional dell drivers previously linked, this must be a critical Windows 11 fix.

After updating my Killer driver to the latest version 12.0.0.1257, i changed network mode to
AC/N Mixed in 5Ghz and it works.
But, when i changed Channel Width to VHT 80Mhz - it says unable to connect. And after 30 seconds 5Ghz disappeared from Wi-Fi.
When i choose in 5Ghz Channel Width: Full 20Mhz with AC/N mixed it works.
Edit: channel width: Dynamic 20/40Mhz also works for me in 5Ghz.
Edit 2:channel width: Wide HT40 also works for me in 5Ghz. (But I noticed that it takes longer to connect than to the previous channels, it takes longer to "check the network requirements".)
try 80mhz and channel 36+uu with AC/N or "mixed".
especially you have to be patient after pressing "apply".
This takes 2-3 minutes until the WLAN is restarted and the WLAN card has found the new WLAN.
Otherwise also activate syslogd in the tab "services".
In the tab "Status > Syslog" you can then view the log.
WLAN connection attempts are visible there.
Also, if you use 80Mhz, you must use the correct extension channels.
You can also configure wrong extension channels.

Thank you, i already installed 12.0.0.1257 driver (provided screenshot above), but it seems it's a bit headache here on Windows 11 to install this cumulative updates .cab files.
I don't have "install" option in the context menu (right mouse click) when i navigated to .cab files.
Probably i have to use some sort of this instructions. (I did not find on Microsoft website about Windows 11)
