wpa_supplicant: connect to mobile tethering but not to the router

Question

Also my phone works successfully as a client of this Wi-Fi router, and even now I tether from this phone that is a client of this Wi-Fi.

Wired connection (ethernet) from the same laptop to this router also works.

Boot from Xubuntu: Wi-Fi works. Maybe something is missing in my kernel?

My /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1


network={
    ssid="271"
    psk="this not connect :("
    mesh_fwding=1
}
network={
    ssid="POCO X3 Pro"
    psk="this is my phone, works"
    priority=2
    mesh_fwding=1
}

mesh_fwding=1 is added by wpa_cli save_config, I tried without this line as well.

In wpa_cli I see CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND.

In scan_result for my working phone I see
[WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] POCO X3 Pro

for router
[WPA-PSK-CCMP+TKIP][WPA2-?][ESS] 271.

I tried log level DEBUG but no additional information in wpa_cli.

In dmesg I see output only for the smartphone - but nothing when tethering is disabled.

I rent this appartment and my landlord does not know the password for the wi-fi router so I cannot see the settings. The model of router is Huawei EchoLife HG8245H5.

Currently I am in Georgia country and I tried to add
country="GE"
and /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant restart.

In lspci I have Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34). Maybe wi-fi card on the laptop is too old?

Please help :(

Thanks @user1686 for the tip.
