Hi, and thanks for your prompt answer.

These are the values of the "Mode" field in the 2.4 GHz band:

And here are the values in the 5 GHz band:

As you can see, there is not trace of "802.11ax" anywhere.

Unfortunately, I can't try the "802.11ax" protocol in the repeater mode, because I've not a router or other AP that supports such protocol. Indeed, I've bought this AP to be able to upgrade to WiFi 6 without buying an expensive router. I'm happy with the one that I've.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.

I've configured the AP using the web interface of the device. I've not tried TP-Link Cloud yet, because I don't trust having a "middle-man" to manage my network. But I guess I'll have to give it a try if I don't find a solution.

OK, I've logged-in in the AP using my TP-Link Clud account. Then, I've installed the TP-Link Tether app in my mobile phone. But, unfortunately, it only allows me to set some basic features of the WiFi network: Network name, Security, Password and Hide SSD. No possibility of changing the "Mode" (the protocol).

Has anyone a clue about whether it's a hardware limitation or intentional?

Thank you.

@negora  Hello,

I have the same problem.

No 802.11ax !

Why ???

Maybe 802.11ax is just for repeater mode ?

I can't test with my 802.11ac rooter 

@pbalaye I hope it's just a silly bug, and not a hardware limitation. It would be interesting to know which chipset is used by the RE505X.

Anyone from the staff of TP-Link has a solution to this? Thank you.

@Solla-topee Unfortunately, since I didn't get any answer from TP-Link, I had to return the device to the seller and buy another model from another brand.

And after checking with the senior engineers, it did support 802.11AX mode on the access point mode but it just did not have this option on the web interface.

And if you use the Wi-Fi analyzer, you will see it also works on the 802.11AX mod, and If you check the link speed on the AX compatible devices, the wireless link speed would also be up to AX standard.

I don't understand this. Taking into account that neither the Web GUI nor TP-Link Tether exposed the option to choose 802.11ax, How was the RE505X supposed to operate in 802.11ax mode? It could operate in 802.11ac mode as much.

Thank you!
