RAXE500

After setting up my new Nighthawk RAXE500 which supports 6E, only the 2.4 and 5ghz appears to connect to from my iPhone 12 pro max.  I did configure it as seperate SSID names vs a single.  Anyone have simular issues?

    Wrtaz, my understanding is that the iPhone 12 supports WiFi 6, but only on the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands.

    Topology is correct.

    the iphone 12 doesn't support the 6E. 

    The only devices that I know of currently that support 6E is the Galaxy S21 and the intel AX210. And the intel doesn't even support it without a workaround through drivers/windows and doesn't support wpa3 yet. Its a bit early of a standard.
