My unit (RBRE960) with 6g network enabled, is not seen in the network menu on my brand new Amazon Fire TV 4k Max - which is advertised as a Wifi 6 device.
Netgear says the unit is compatible, Amazon says they don't know.
I don't have another wifi 6 device yet so I am not sure if the Orbi system is defective or the Fire TV is incompatible. I send the first one back, and the replacement unit still does not see the 6g network.
Anyone else having this issue? If so, did you solve?

You're confusing wi-fi 6 (which is still 5Ghz) and wi-fi 6e (which uses 6Ghz and the separate radio in your RBRE960). The FireTV 4K Max is only wi-fi 6 and still uses 5Ghz. From it's Amazon product page: "Supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6) networks."
Wi-Fi 6 can send and receive data over both the 2.4- and 5-gigahertz (GHz) bands (Wi-Fi 5 is 5-GHz only) and can move even more data by running a single ultra-wide 160-megahertz (MHz) channel on its 5-GHz band.
Wi-Fi 6e added more than a gigahertz of fresh electromagnetic spectrum space in the U.S., ranging from 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz... This additional block of spectrum, generally referred as the 6-GHz band
