Raxe500 wifi6e 6ghz network invisible to s21 ultra
Hi as the title says I am unable to see or connect to the 6ghz wifi. I've used their smart connect and also ungrouped so all 2.4 5 and 6 broadcast their ssids. I can't see any settings to tune in the ...
Strange, the RAXE500 hhas a functioning 6GHz band and it works pretty well, though range is heavily limited due to the unreasonable FCC limits. Basically they impose a PSD requirement where APs are limited to 250mW and client devices are limited to 127mW depending on the noise floor. If possible, give the 6GHz band a different name, and then see if it shows up in the WiFi list. Also keep in mind that none of the major WiFi scanner apps are 6GHz aware, thus they will either not display the SSID, or they will strangely on the 5GHz band but have a lot of weird values.
Forgot to add, alsomake sure the 6GHz radio is set to use a "PSC" channel. Those are listed as preferred scanning channels where many client devices are set to scan them during their normal roaming scans, which speeds the scan time by minimicing how many channels are actually being scanned.
I have not had a chance to use that smartphone, thus I am unsure if it will manually scan the non PSC channels, or if they have it set to just look at the PSC channels.
With smart connect enabled, you should still be able to change the SSID of just the 6GHz band since it is not included in the smart connect algorithm at the moment.
- Thanks for that tried it on both the 6ghz with a name change channel 37 psc and on the guest network. Didn't help :-/🌧️
