The 2.4ghz channel is showing but it doesn't seem to be working particularly well

Assuming you operate a Nikon WT-6 or WT-6A, before defining the wireless profile select the desired WiFi band to be used:

[Wired LAN/WT] > [Options] > [Router frequency band] and choose the desired band. Select [2.4 GHz] or [5 GHz] to connect only to networks operating on the chosen band, [2.4 GHz/5 GHz] to connect to networks operating on either band.

Older Nikon WiFi Wireless Transmitters might use a feature named WiFi Direct (and designate it misleadingly as Access Point Mode in the docs) - which might be restricted to 2.4 GHz because of regional/worldwide regulatories.

I have recently purchased a Netgear Nighthawk M6. I am hoping to set it up for sending FTP files from my Nikon Z9 to my Macbook and to find out the best and most efficient settings.

In this case, the M6 does serve as a wireless access point for the Z9 (operating in Infrastructure Mode 8-) ), the MAC can either be connected to the WiFi, or by Ethernet which needs to be enabled: Advanced -> Mobile Router Setup -> Ethernet -> check to enable, probably allowing some better performance than sending large amounts of photos and videos over the WiFi twice (Z9<->M6 and M6<->Mac) - permitting you have a Mac with a built-in Ethernet LAN port) to the M6.

I'm not deep in the M6, hope it does work in general like a common WiFi router.
