6e Band & Firmware 1.2.13.100
Has anyone noticed the 6e band dropping after upgrading to firmware 1.2.13.100 on the RAXE500? I reverted back to 1.0.12.96 just to get a stable 6e connection.

Upgraded mine to v.100.
Power cycled the router OFF for 30 seconds then back on.
To fully check the 6Ghz radio, I disabled Smart Connect and 2.4Ghz, leaving 5 and 6Ghz enabled.
Channel 44 for 5Ghz Up to 4800 and Channel 37(PSC) Up to 4800 on 6Ghz
Using a AX210 PCIe adapter, Intel driver version v22.250.1.2, on a Windows 11 PC, card sees and connected to the 6Ghz radio.
Typing this post now using the 6Ghz radio on the RAXE500 as well.
Speed test results to boot:
I may factory reset and set up from scratch to be sure.

FYI: I upgraded my RAXE500 to 1.2.13.100 on 12 DEC without performing a factory reset, and have observed no Wi-Fi 6e issues using an iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.2).
