RBRE960 Wifi 6 not working
Previously had Huawei WiFi 6 mesh system...cheap but range was poor so I upgraded...#RBE960 is great for the extra output. I previously had super speeds on my iphone 12Pro Max in the old system...but...
wifi 6 and 6ghz are 2 different things.
wifi 6 just includes 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
wifi 6E includes 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz.
the iphone 12 doesn't have 6E so no 6ghz.
Thats why you can't see it.

darn you are so right....6E is different from 6 and how it is implemented by Netgear. In my Huawei I got really fast speeds on a channel that was reserved for 6 only...just like Netgear have for 6E....looks like another router for my switch until Apple can sort some product upgrades....hopefully next iPhone! til then I will wire connections to hardware.
Who knows someone may sort a mac version of a usb dongle for 6E standard...I sure would buy one...
Thanks for your help...and so fast - still no reply from Tech Support on my ticket
You might be talking about DFS channels. Netgear does use those but on the orbi it uses them for the backhaul (router---satellite) communication. That way the backhaul isn't the bottleneck in speeds.
What speeds are you getting over 5ghz?
the RBKE should saturate most devices over 5ghz without issues.
Internet speed here in UK on Sky : download 64Mbps, Upload 19Mbms, ping 5ms
Just checked speeds in 5GHz - Main router: - all same room as Router
Mac 1201 Mbps
PC 1201 Mbps
iPad 780 Mbps
iPhone 600 Mbps
3rd party network device 72 Mbps - think this is underfloor heating hub
Lightwave wired hub (IoT)
Satellite 1 5GHz (2 rooms away - same floor)
PC 866Mbps
(should also show a Naim MuSo speaker that is wired into the Satellite network - not showing not sure if this is working ok) - ideas?
Satellite 2 (1 floor down)
Outdoor Nest Webcam 135 Mbps
any pointers gratefully received thanks - all Orbi are wall mounted on brackets in clear space
