Firestick 4k mw x is wifi 6 compatible
Raxe500
The nighthawk app and router / browser does not see Wifi 6 signal from the raxe500!!
And my new firestick 4k max is wifi6 standard (802.11ax) and the first sick only sees 2.5ghz and 5ghz options… what am I doing wrong?

Doing wrong? nothing.
Problem is in understanding what the RAXE500's 6ghz band is.
Wifi 6E is a different hardware spec with spectrum in the 6ghz band.
Wifi 6 is just 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
there's been plenty of articles written on it:

They're different spectrums and so for devices to see the 6ghz spectrum, they need different hardware. None of the firestick devices has 6E.
