RAX29 WiFi 6 Router not connecting at WiFi 6

Bizarre.  My preferred network and laptop now DO connect at WiFi 6 (ax).  Maybe I got a firmware update on the router?  No idea.

well, realtek isn't exactly known for the best wifi devices. And distance, interference, obstruction can all cause it to connect at decreased values of wifi 5 specs.
