This firmware finally fixes the Samsung wifi 6e issue. With previous versions, Samsung tablets and phones would not see the wifi 6e signal from the node. They would connect to the router fine but not the node. Many non-Samsung devices were not affected. After this update, my Samsung devices can connect to 6e on the nodes.
