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...
the RAXE500's 6ghz is weird. Its not been integrated into the "smart connect" option for the ssid. While you can set it with the same ssid as the 2.4/5ghz, I'm not sure how this impacts its band steering since it isn't integrated. have you tried it with a different ssid?
So, an update- My 2.4 GHZ is one name not -2G, the rest are SSID-5G SSID-6, would chnaging my 2.4 SSID to -2G as set up on the other 5G and 6E channeles help?
our client devices i.e. iPhone 16 Pro do roam correctly between the 5G and 6G channels as we move around the house and in the yard.
Thank you for any advice. I'm afraid to change that SSID on the 2.4 as it seems to be working pretty good except for the Apple warning saying not fully compatible but everything is working correctly except on my Interface for the router it doesn't show when I'm connected to the 6G but does if I'm connected to the 2.4/5. It just shows as a blank where the 2.4/5/6 or wired directly shows under Connect devices.
