Raxe500 wifi6 not working with iPhone 15 pro max

Good morning I have a raxe500
Nighthawk router I know this router will do Wi-Fi 6 as I have a friend with a Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra connects right up to Wi-Fi 6 no problem however my iPhone 16 pro Max has never been able to connect up to Wi-Fi 6 since I got it I have done everything reset network settings I've even done a factory reset on the router to no avail any help on this is appreciated I don't know if this is Apple's problem but I'm open to ideas thank you

  • If a different device sees the network and connects without issue, I'd be suspicious if the iPhone. If you know of anyone with something supporting 6e, I'd try theirs.

      Thank you for your reply actually I have a couple of people around me that also have the iPhone 15 pro Max and I've had them come over and try to connect to my router and they encountered the same problem as originally I thought I was just my phone but it appears it might be an Apple issue as the Galaxy s24 ultra connects with no problem
  • For some reason I'm not able to update my original post it should have said iPhone 15 not iPhone 16
