[RAXE500] Hard to scan 6GHz SSID because latest FW 1.0.7.68 doesn't send Unsolicited Probe responses
When my RAXE500 was running old FW 1.0.6.64 everything was fine and I could scan and connect to 6GHz SSID easily. However after the router automatically upgraded to 1.0.7.68, I found I had to manually scan several times to find the 6GHz SSID, which is quite annoying. Even worse, when the laptop wakes up from sleep mode, sometimes it has to take 3 minutes to connect back to the AP.
I've done some reasearch and managed to installed an air sniffer capable of scanning in 6GHz band, and found that the the latest FW 1.0.7.68 doesn't send "Unsolicited Probe responses" anymore, while FW 1.0.6.64 still did.
Could Netgear fix this and add "Unsolicited Probe responses" back to FW in the next FW release?
Thanks.

Yes, this issue should be pull-up to fix.
