MR6450 and MacBook M2 don't connect on 6GHz

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...

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

      I'm with 2.4 and 6 

      It's in VHT 160 for 6 = not visible

      I tried VHT80 = same problem

      I tried in HT40 = same problem

       

      No other option available
