WiFi 6E Problems - RAXE500
I've recently configured my Netgear RAXE500 router and experiencing issues with very slow speeds and low signal with Wi-Fi 6E and I'm unable to authenticate with WPA3-Personal using the Intel AX210 m...
Forgot to mention that Some WiFi adapters will determine region and apply local regulations based on beacons sent by nearby APs, thus there is a chance that even if yor RAXE500 will broadcast on the 6GHz band, the AX210 may refuse to use it if it automatically switches regions.
Currently the 2 streams is the max for WiFi client devices (unless you do something like a wireles bridge between 2 RAXE500 devices).
With a 2400Mbps PHY rate, the real world throughput ends up being in the 1.8Gbps to 2Gbps under good conditions with an Intel AX210.

Is there any understanding of how to choose AX210 card that does not use LAR (system that does what you described, as I understand)?
Is this detection of the region mechanism present on every intel ax210? Any tips how to avoid that?
Is this related to usage of the AX210 in the laptop or PCI to m2 usage in desktop is also vunerable to region determination? Thing is I wanted to test it in country, where 6Ghz is not yet certified.
Does LAR takes in considiration only region of my AP, or neighbours SSIDs have this info broadcasted?
Sadly it will be hard to find devices like that due to FCC scumbaggery in 2015 causing companies to cripple WiFi hardware. Perfect code does not exist but it forced companies to pretend that imperfect code is perfect, and prevent firmware changes on WiFi radios. For the AX210, to comply they did the following restrictions as seen in the PDF when seeking FCC approval.
- Question:
What controls exist that the user cannot operate
the device outside its authorization in the U.S.?
Answer:Default mode is always FCC compliant. Other countrymodes cannot be activated without receiving threeindependent country codes from different APs, otherwiseremains in FCC default mode (always FCC compliant) - Question:
Describe how any software/firmware update will be
obtained, downloaded, and installed. Software that is
accessed through manufacturer’s website or device’s
management system, must describe the different levels
of security as appropriate.
Answer:
There is no downloadable software provided by the
manufacturer that can modify critical radio transmitter
parameters. All critical parameters are programmed in
OTP memory at the factory and cannot be modified or
overridden by third parties
Sadly It likely means that device makers will have a hard time making non-crippled WiFi adapters unless they make a specific model that is not designed to be sold or used in the US.
Sorry for the above post, it completely broke the formatting when posted even though it looked fine in the text field. The site also seems to lack any edit function so I am unsure of how to fix it.
