Thank you. MAC address randomizer switch did not yield any benefit. My RAXE500 is connected to a Netgear CM1000 cable mode and Xfinity is the ISP. The hardware ver. is 2.02 and the firmware ver. is V7.01.01 The firmware ver. of the RAXE is V1.2.13.100_2.0.54. I noticed the 6Ghz band swapping after Verizon did an update on Jan. 11 with no improvement on the Feb. 8th update. I was wondering it there are setting in the router wifi section that would be better for a Samsung S23+?? I was unclear what you meant by channel configurations?
