Hi everyone, if some of your WiFi devices cannot connect to RS700 after the firmware is upgraded to v1.0.9.6, please let us know which WiFi devices they are (brand, model, and firmware / driver version if you know). We will see if we can find the same devices to test.
Also it is much appreciated if you are OK to run some trial firmare to see if that fixes the WiFi connection issues for you. Thank uou.

Devices that cannot connect to 6ghz SSID:
iPhone 16 Pro Max - iOS 18.6
iPad Pro M2 12.9"- iOS 18.6
Lenovo ThinkPad T14s - Windows 11 22H4 Build 26100.4770
Steam Deck OLED 512GB - Steam OS 3.7.13
These were the only devices that I tried before rolling back to V1.0.8.64_3. Once back on that version everything connected again automatically. The 2.5ghz and 5ghz SSID's were unaffected.
