Hello

I only have bought a re505x and set it up as an Access Point (AP). I am going to separate my WiFi network for old and the newest wifi standards by using re505x for modern devices simultaneously with an old one Wi-Fi AP for more older ones.

So I set "802.11ax only" option in Wireless Settings section of re505x. To have only 802.11ax devices being connected to it.

As I had set "802.11ax only" I was expecting only devices that use the protocol. But to my surprise in "Status" -> "Wireless Clients" I saw, and see, devices that I know for sure don't support the latest 802.11ax protocol.

I know the protocol has announced backward compatibility to previous standard so I guess some, for example, 802.11ac device might connected. But all this very confusing. If I set 802.11ax only option I expect only 802.11ax devices, exactly as it states.

Now it is not clear if my AP has switched into 802.11ac compatibility mode completelly and all my devices are connected as 802.11ac, even the most modern ones. Or some of them nevertheless are working as 802.11ax ones.

It would be nice if one can see what protocols are used by devices in his WiFi network. But it looks like the only information that AP provides is frequency. I can see a device is connected at 5GHz but can't say if it is 802.11ac or 802.11ax.

My question is how could I determine which one protocol is used by a WiFi client? Maybe there is an option enabling this functionality or I mislook something?

P.S. To tell the true I am very disappointed. The product boasts on its box a lot about its features, such as Wi-Fi6 speed, Target Wake Time and so on. But declines you to see any details about them being working. How could I say, for example, that my smart electric bulb uses target wake time if I even can't say in which mode WiFi  5 or 6 my AP operates. Even my old cheapest router from the past showed at what protocol devices were connected. :(

Here are screenshots of my Settings section and a list of connected wi-fi clients.
