Nighthawk Router RAXE500

Question

I am confused about the Wi-Fi settings in my Router RAXE500

I enabled
AX
2.4Ghz
5GHz
6GHz
and smart switch is disabled

The 2.4GHz and the 5GHz have the same password the SSID names are slightly different
but my 6GHz has a completely different password

My Samsung galaxy S10 when it logs onto the Wi-Fi it showing it logged on to 6GHz
but I'm not using the 6 GHz password
so I am confused on how all this works
and just to add. I don't broadcast my SSID

What happens if you change the PW on the 2.4 and 5Ghz SSIDs to something new and don't use those. Does the phone still connect to the 6Ghz radio?
&nbsp;
Had you used the 6Ghz PW prior any?&nbsp;

Interesting experiment. I will try that and then get back to you with the resultsbut just to be clear the password for 6 GHz is different than the others

IT can be the same if needed.&nbsp;

The S10 doesn't have a 6ghz radio.
You might be mixing up Wifi 6 with 6ghz.
6ghz is a hardware difference and the S10 won't even be able to see 6ghz.&nbsp;

All Samsung galaxy S10&nbsp;are capable of handling 6Gwith all the recent new updateshttps://www.theverge.com/2019/2/20/18232366/samsung-galaxy-s10-wifi-6-lte-speed#:~:text=All%20three%20new%20phones%2C%20the,or%20just%20your%20home%20router.With that said, if I disable AXthe Wi-Fi signal does not display the number 6 anymore which indicates 6 GHzso that is verifiedwhat is not verified. If 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz have the same passwordhow is it that my phone is picking up 6 GHz.When the 6 GHz has a completely different password.And I'm not using that password
