xr1000 5g wifi not showing on iphone 16 pro max
My Netgear XR1000 5G WiFi is not showing up on my iPhone 16 Pro Max unless I restart the phone. I have also tried connecting with my iPhone 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max, but the network does not appear on those devices either. However, it shows up properly on my laptop. I have already turned off and on various options individually and altogether without success. I downgraded the firmware from V1.0.0.72_1.0.62 to V1.0.0.68_1.0.54, but the issue persists. I have also changed the WiFi channel and region settings. What could be causing this issue, and is there a solution?

I checked with a 600 Mbps, but it’s not showing.- So it only seems to be iOS devices that can't see it, everything else can? Are all devices & the router from the same region or was the router or phones bought from/in a different country for example?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
