Hi:
Today I've purchased a RE505X with the idea of using it as an access point, not as a range extender. To my surprise, when I've tried to configure the WiFi signals, it doesn't allow to choose 802.11ax as a mode, neither in the 2.4 GHz band nor in the 5 GHz one.
In the 2.4 GHz band, it shows these options:
- 802.11n only
- 802.11b/g mixed
- 802.11b/g/n mixed
In the 5 GHz band, only these:
- 802.11ac only
- 802.11n/ac mixed
- 802.11a/n/ac mixed
Why is it? Can you help me, please?
Thank you.

Good day,
Thanks a lot of your time and patience.
Really sorry for the inconvenience.
It is more like, RE505X would operate 802.11ax by default and you do not need to manually change it to the 802.11ax mode so that this option does not show up on the web UI;
But In case of the further misunderstanding, we have reported this feedback to our senior engineers for further evaluation.
Thank you very much for your understanding and support.

@Solla-topee OK, I understood it now. Thank you.
But I believe that the option should be exposed in the GUI. Otherwise, if I switched to 802.11ac mode, then there would be no way to go back to 802.11ax mode, but resetting the device to the factory settings. I hope yours engineers take that into account.
Again, thank you for your support.

@MrGoto It is recommended to check the model of wireless adapter and make sure your WiFi clients support 802.11ax & 2 Mimo to get 1.2Gbps link speed.
Please let me know the model number of your device/ wireless adapter , thank you!
