RAXE500 Beta FW v1.0.9.78 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....
Hi Christine,
I just installed this new firmware v1.0.9.78 on my RAXE500 router.
I live in Paris, France, and I still don't "see" the 6GHz band network on my Samsung S21 Ultra 5G (Wi-Fi 6E compatible, french version firmware).
I bought my RAXE500 in the U.S. so the region is locked to "North America". Is it the reason of the issue ? Is there a way to change it to "Europe" ?
Best regards,
Franck

6GHz is now authorized in France since the beginning of december. Samsung did not communicate on Wi-Fi 6E when they released December and January firmwares. I don't know if the phone supports now 6GHz band Wi-Fi networks and if the problem comes from the RAXE500...
That would be great if Netgear could confirm that the RAXE500 support now (or not yet) 6GHz band in France with this last firmware ! ChristineT : can you get the information ?
