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...

Also read other information that MS is supporting WPA3 in Windows 10 if you update to the latest 21H2 feature update...

I guess it's related to Microsoft. I know WIN10 latest build won't support H2E feature so if you insist to use WPA3-SAE H2E to connect to RAXE500 6GHZ radio, you will need to use either WIN10 beta build OS or WIN11 (only these versions support H2E feature)
If you use OWE to connect, I guess latest WIN10 would work.

What is OWE?
I'll check the version I have however latest Win10x64 (retail that came pre-installed) 2H21 and build prior to that is working with WPA3 on my PC. Has since day 1 with the AX210 adapter I have installed and the NG Orbi router I'm using with WPA3 enabled.
