RAXE500 Beta FW v1.0.9.72 is available for Testing

Hello RAXE500 Community,   We have a beta firmware available for testing for the RAXE500 that we hope will resolve some of the instability issues that have been reported over the last few months....

I can confirm with v1.0.1.52 and v1.0.9.72 that my Intel AX210 6Ghz PCI adapter (v22.45) install using Windows 10x64 is NOT connecting to the RAXE500 when WPA3 is enabled. I can connect  the adapter to the RAXE500 if I disable WPA3 and set for OPEN security. 

 

Same Intel AX210 adapter works on a different NG router with WPA3 enabled.

    Microsoft does not support WPA-SAE H2E feature on current win10 so you will need to ugprade your OS to win11 in order to support it (this is kind of Micrsoft's strategic to encourage people to upgrade to win11 to gain the win11 usage.)

     

    If you still like to connect it in win10, you will need to use beta version (https://insider.windows.com/en-us/ ) with specific AX210 driver.

      Would be interested to know then why does Intel release Windows 10 and 11 drivers for AX210 6Ghz adapters? 

      I just downloaded v22.90 yesterday...
