Hi Netgear, I got the new MR6450 and a new MacBook Pro M2 both are able of Wifi 6e on 6GHz (tested that with other devices) but they just don't work together on Wifi 6e 6GHz. Why? Cheers Jörn NTGX65_10.04.25.00macos 13.2.1 (22D68)

So everything but the macbook works on the 6ghz? Seems to point a finger at some setting on the macbook causing issues. did you contact apple?

No actually the MacBook Pro works totally fine with a AXE5400 Tri-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6E Router. Insane DL speed and nice Ping.

So then I'm confused what issue you're having. A little more clarity might help for what the issue is.

I'm experiencing the same. MacBookPro M2 works perfectly with my WIFI 6E rooter at home.But the same MacBookPro with Nighthawk M6 Pro MR6450 (bought in France) doesn't even see the WIFI6 signal...Please help.

Tried with NTGX65_12.01.05.00 with Dell laptop (installed Intel AX210) has no issue with WiFi6E connection, works as expected. You might want to upgrade your FW over latest version

  A lot of problems reported here with 6 GHz wifi have been down to the drivers for the WiFi. Dell and Mac are completely different.
  
  I still think that plemans was on the right track.

    Suggest to have MR6450 landed on PSC channel to see if that improves, I am having 2.4+6G set to WiFi profile
