Sep 20, 2022Trying to use wifi6e on RAX 50

If you have other devices that don't support WPA3 then you'll need to keep with WPA2 and AES. I don't know if this model has a mixed WPA2 and WPA3 setting.

The RAX50 doesn't support 6E only 6.

No, AX works on WPA2 or WPA3.
Ya no mixed mode WPA2 and WPA3 so you'll need to keep with WPA2. Or find you a router that supports mixed modes.
