Wifi 6 Question

I have an RAX 80 that's supposedly Wifi 6 capable but I see no mention of it in setup.  There 'is' an on/off toggle for AX which may be the same, the manual simply isn't clear about that (never mentions Wifi 6).   My question, how do I know Wifi 6 is on?  Is there some indication in the SSID (maybe a tiny 6) or ?

Thank you!

Re: Wifi 6 Question

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk RAX WiFi 6 Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

WiFi 6 is a AX mode that is mostly ON. Depeneding upon what NG wants and offers, there maybe a check box next to the 2.4 and 5Ghz radios seen under Basic tab/Wireless settings that these check boxes either enable or disable the AX mode on the router. 

Otherwise, AX mode runs all the time.
