Router is RAEX 500 and Iphone 16 Pro 6G
So I have the RAEX 500 router and just purchased the new iPhone 16 Pro. when I go to connect to 6G, it says limited compatibility.? I have tried multiple settings to change and yet it still does this...

the RAXE500's 6ghz is weird. Its not been integrated into the "smart connect" option for the ssid. While you can set it with the same ssid as the 2.4/5ghz, I'm not sure how this impacts its band steering since it isn't integrated. have you tried it with a different ssid?

I was just told this is a known issue and a new Firmware update will resolve it in a few months.
Hope that’s coming along that soon.

Was that from a Netgear source?
Just another user with time on their hands.
