WiFI6 not showing on any devices that are compatible
Good morning, I have the new RAXE500 router upgraded from the XR500 and no matter what I do, I cannot get the WiFi6 network to show up. I know this is a WiFi6e router and I do not have any compatible...

Just a quick update, I followed the registry hack and can now see the WiFi6e SSID and connected to it from my laptop. The powers that be should really do a better job at naming these standards other than just adding an E at the end yet it is a whole different band altogether. I do love this router, it's a beast. Thanks agian!
