RAXE500 - Using 6 Ghz wifi network in France
Hi all, I bought my RAXE500 router in May in the USA and use it in FRANCE. It works fine, except wifi 6 Ghz band. Right now, the wifi 6 Ghz network is invisible to my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra a...
It might be approved but not sure if its made it into the firmware changes yet. There's usually a lag between approval and firmware changes.
Does it work if you change the region to a not france region?
(just to test)
maybe Altsai has an idea if its going to be released for france region
Thank you for your help.
Region is set to North America and that cannot be changed...

Your region is north america?
And is your region for the s21 north america?
If its set to north america it shouldn't be under the france broadcast restrictions
Region is North America in RAXE500 firmware (and cannot be changed).
S21 and TV were bought in France and have french version firmwares.

S21 and TV were bought in France and have french version firmwares.-----so you have a router that can broadcast 6e but your equipment (s21) might not be enabled because its firmware is a french version that might not have the updated firmware to do so. I'm not sure what to tell you on what the best way to find out if its broadcasting or not because so few devices can pickup 6ghz. And if the devices that can pick it up are in a region that might not have the firmware enabled, then it gets skewed.

Stuff sold in the USA tends to be more severe in hard wring the region.
There are way to force some hardware to "move".
Different hardware, possibly same approach:

Hi guys,
thank you for your great help. But for the moment, I did not succeed in changing region to Europe (or something else).
First, I tried to allow telnet connection to RAXE500:
- the http://www.routerlogin.net/debug.htm page exists but has no telnet case to check.
- I downloaded the telnetenable python script that works for some Netgear routers, made a python 3.8 version (the script on the net is old and for python 2), and run it with no error with my router parameters, but it did not unable RAXE500 telnet connections.
Secondly, I tried to change the region through the router web interface, with chrome development tools. In the RAXE500 wifi parameters page, I located in html objects the Region select and executed 'document.getElementById("wireless_region").removeAttribute("disabled");' in the console to unable the select in the page. I could then change the region and I applied changes to the router. But when the router finished applying changes, I saw the region was still North America...
So no solution for the moment. I keep on searching...

Netgear is steadily removing Telnet from the things you can do on a router.
