Thanks for responding...

The Apple M2 Mac Air has the following Specs:

Wifi 802.11ax Wi Fi 6 Wirless Networking

I found in my ORBI Login setup, under Wireless Setup - Wireless Settings for the 6 GHZ Channel, the channel number selected was 69 But in the Mac wireless settings this channel was not available - so I switched the Orbo 6 GHZ to 149 as this is available also in the Mac.

Also turned on IPV6 to On in the Orbi (this was disabled before) and set it to DHCP and Lan Setup to Use DHCP Server. Not sure if I needed to turn on IpV6 but I did that anyway.

Now all I need is to set the Mac to use Channel 149 .... please let me know if this can be done as I am guessing that since the 6GHZ is assigned to 149 and I connect the Mac to 149 that should give me the Wifi 6 Connectivity.

I attached the Mac connectivity details in this post.

Thanks again

Orbi only allows channels to be set on 5Ghz between 36 and 48. All the higher channels are used for the wireless backhaul between the RBR and RBS. Those can not be configured.

Check with Apple to see what the max connection rate is for your Apple device.
