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...
I never likes (smart connect) as in my experience everything usually defaults to the 2.4 channel. Maybe some software upgrades or new routers are different but that's was my experience with an older Netgear router. What's really odd is I'm able to be on the Internet when it says 6G on my phone and limited compatibility but again it's great out on my router interface as to what channel it's actually on. Lol.
Thank you for the reply!

That's down to your wifi clients. A more common complaint here is that everything connects to 5 GHz which screws up people who want their mobile on 2.4 GHz so that they can install Internet of Things (IoT) things.
Just another user with time on their hands.
My 2.4 Lot Devices are working fine, I don't have a lot of them. only 2 that are not hardwired into the router itself.
Thank you!
Can try. Probably won't matter.
