Your region is north america?

Region is North America in RAXE500 firmware (and cannot be changed).

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.
