No trace of Wifi6 networks on Nighthawk RAXE500
I just bought a new NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500, set it up, 6G Wifi networks (regular and guest) are enabled and SSID broadcasting, and there's no trace of these Wifi 6 networks anywhere. I've got an i...
tonydi is correct.
the only devices that support 6E currently are the samsung S21 and the intel AX210 wireless board. But even the intel doesn't fully support it as windows hasn't supported the wpa3 for it or enabled it in public views of windows. So to get it working on windows requires work-arounds to get it functioning.
Its a bit of a pointless band currently. I usually recommend the RAX200 or RAX120 to people until more devices support 6E
I understand that not many devices support 6E, and that band won't be reachable by most current devices. But the RAXE500 is supposed to be backward compatible, and support not only 6E and Wifi 6, which iPhone 11+ and iPad Pro support. I'm not seeing that.
