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.
Thanks everyone for commenting to date!
Yousef , I tested your workaround by changing the 6 GHz mode from "Up to 4800 Mbps" to "Up to 2400 Mbps"...and yes, I see it too. The 6e signal then becomes stable with it set at "Up to 2400 Mbps". Switching it back to "Up to 4800 Mbps", the 6e signal becomes unusable. For reference, I'm using my Samsung S23+ to test this 6e signal (one of four phones in my house right now with 6e).
That said for me, keeping it at the latest v1.2.13.100 with "Up to 2400 Mbps" set for 6 GHz seems to keep it working fine. However, I've also found reverting back to v1.0.12.96 without changing the Mode for 6 GHz also is an option.
If anybody has additional comments/observations on this, keep the info coming. I'm crossing my fingers we got a work around here, but not confident we'll see an update anytime soon as Netgear usually provides updates only a couple times a year.
Oddly I got a notice from the app today that it updated to this firmware. I’ve checked both the app and browser admin panel a few times in the last couple months and it always said no update.
i didn’t search or check forums since they put out so few firmware updates but almost 2 months of telling me no updates and then doing it itself is a little odd.
