RAXE500 Firmware Update + OFDMA Question?

[Makavelli44]

1) has Netgear released a beta firmware version since the 1.2.13.100 update of December 2023? It was posted by someone that they will be addressing the issues of that firmware release and a new firmware would be released soon. It’s been almost 4+ months now. Has Netgear abandoned the RAXE500 router?

2) should the OFDMA setting be ENABLED in any of the wireless bands (2.4, 5 and 6)?  By default they are ALL disabled. Should I enable any or ALL of them? 

Thanks

Yes, absolutely. OFDMA is key feature of Wi-Fi 6 aka. IEEE 802.11ax. Wi-Fi 6E added the support of the 6 GHz band.

What is Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access?

Enable for ALL bands or just WiFi 5 and 6 only?
