Router is RAEX 500 and Iphone 16 Pro 6G
So I have the RAEX 500 router and just purchased the new iPhone 16 Pro. when I go to connect to 6G, it says limited compatibility.? I have tried multiple settings to change and yet it still does this...

First try this:

Anything else is down to Apple.

My Apple clients/ Devices connect fine using the 2.4 and the 5 GHz on this router. I'm not clear why it would affect the 3rd band only. I did try this settings change on my Apple device. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the silly warning sign from Apple.
Thanks for the reply!!

I disabled all of IOS Wifi security features, and same results. I have WIFI 6 with the warning sign and it doesn"t show up as to what it's connected to under connected devices using a computer on the router. It's just blank in that spot when on 6G, everything else shows as directly connected or 2.4/5Ghz.
It's a strange problem, hope Netgear does a firmware update as promised.
Thanks, good suggestion!
