Enabling AX Not Available - RBR750

Hi, I can't seem to figure out how enable (or check that it is) the AX features on my Orbi RBR750. In the wireless settings there is no checkbox next to 'Enable AX' (see attached picture) and my computer says that my router is oeprating as AC - what am I missing?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Can you post a picture if what you see on your RBRs web page?

Now navigate to Basic/Wireless Settings. What do you see here?

The two check boxes next to Enable 2G and 5G are the AX mode enable boxes. When these are checked, AX mode is enabled. Removing the check in the boxes then applying the change disable AX mode.

I see, then can you think of a reason my computer (with an AX wireless card) would think the access point is an AC?

It's not connecting at AX modes.

Drivers are not up to date...

Something to ask the Mfr of this PC about.

What operating system is your computer (e.g., Window or Mac) and how does it indicate to you whether the wireless network is AC or AX?  Most phones don't tell you whether the network is AC or AX so let's verify what you're seeing on your computer.
