WPA3 not working on 6GHz in Windows 11
I would have put the Model in the appropriate field, but it wasn't available in the selection list. I have a Nighthawk AXE11000(RAXE500) router with firmware version V1.0.7.68_2.0.35, and four PCs w...
I've been using v22.70.0 on my Windows 10 PC, 6Ghz and WPA3 since August.
How did you pull that off? Windows 10 isn't adding support for WPA3 on 6GHz until the 21H2 update comes out, which hasn't happened yet. Are you on the Insider builds?
I reported the wrong driver version. Just checked again and mines using v22.40.0. I remember someone saying there needed to be a registry modification for Windows 10 to make it work. I'll have to dig for it to find it again. I believe I did this along with the drivers installed. It's been working fine on windows 10 using WPA3 on 6Ghz.
The registry hack for Win10 allowed the AX210 to use the 6GHz radio, but as far as I know it never supported WPA3. I know Netgear engineers suggested I switch to beta Win11 builds, saying that was the first version they were able to use to get WPA3 support.
I found something I mentioned in a different forum:
"I'm running Win 10 x64 version 20H2. I got it working full time using 22.45.1.1, v70 would not connect at all on 6Ghz. No Reg modifications either."
