Apple Mac Internet Connection issue with new RS600
I recently installed a Netgear RS600 router, replacing my RAX120 All of our devices connect perfectly (Wife's Mac, phones, cameras, garage opener, TVs, Washer) EXCEPT for my Mac (running 18.2 macOS)...

Is this MAC a Mac Book Or iMac or is this a iPhone? IOS 18.2 is only seen on iPhones or Pads. For laptops and Apple PCs, OSX 12, 14 or 15.x are OS versions for those devices.

Sorry, of course - MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.2
My error, too many devices I guess
Appreciate your reply

What year is the MBP? Mines a 2018 and I have mine dual booting with 15.2 Beta on USB external drive and OSX 12 on the main drive. Both connect to my RS600 fine. Just had it in AP mode and connected the guest network. Had a long zoom meeting Monday and saw no issues. I changed it back to router mode yesterday.
Is SC enabled on our RS?
What channels are you using?Smart Connect enabled on mine and using manual channels 1 and 40 and 37.
Try disabling Protection Engine on your RS if you haven't already.

2021 MacBook Pro, M1 chip, 14 inch, 16 gig
Never an issue on the RAX
I do not use smart connect - I want to know what's on each band
Seems like a Mac issue as everything else, including our other same exact Mac connects perfectly
Thanks for the suggestions - will continue to work on it
