Thanks for the advice. Following the relevant section in the Wiki, I
installed wireless-regdb, did the reboot, uncommented regdomain for my
location. However, I still can't connect to the AP. Please let me know
if I missed something.
Note that the hotspot may not be respecting the regulatory domain for
your location.
However, running iw list | grep -A 15 Frequencies: on my T490 (which is
the machine giving me the problem), I see the following output where
5GHz channels as disabled:

Does that mean anything to anyone? Thanks.
The difference in what channels are enabled might be the problem. On the
laptop that can connect to the hotspot, can you see what channel the
hotspot is advertised on? If it is one of the ones disabled on your
other laptop, you may need a more permissive (but "wrong") regulatory
domain set.
