RAXE450 6Ghz Problem (can't find from any device)

Hi,

 

I just purchased Netgear RAXE450 but seem to have issue with 6Ghz.

 

I have lots of devices around and none of them seem to find it.

 

S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, Laptops with AX211 cards.

 

S21 and S22 ultra are up to date.

Laptops with AX211 on Windows 11 24h2 latest update with latest Wifi Driver.

 

Tried setting 6Ghz wifi to different channels same issue.

Tried reverting firmware to all the way to first firmware, then 1.0.12.96, then 1.2.13.100. Same issue.

Tried also changing region to EUROPE via Burnsku. Same issue.

 

What am I doing wrong ?

What region are you located? I believe there is a issue with 6Ghz working in other regions outside of the NA region...

What 6Ghz channel are you setting. 
WPA3 is the security mode. 

What SSID name are you using? Be sure to try a simple character SSID name for 6Ghz.

I'm in Georgia Country but Router is US model. Phones and all tech is from USA. 6GHz channel tried using almost all channels both PSC and non-PSC. Different connection speeds. Security mode both Open and WPA3. SSID is GM - 6GHz.

Try GM6Ghz for SSID after getting the unit back to a USA region. 

 

If this all fails, I'd return the unit as defective. 6Ghz should be working...

Thanks.

 

Also I have one question. On initial build this router had Power control and in recent builds it is gone. Could it be somehow returned ?

Probably won't be. If it was removed, only NG knows why.
