ROG 98 Pro: Fire Stick 4K Max won’t connect to WiFi 6E???

[Poseidon]

I recently purchased an Amazon Fire Stick 4k Max (2nd Gen) and the box states that it connects to WiFi 6E but I have been unsuccessful in trying to connect to any of my wireless 6 clients on the Asus ROG GT-98 PRO.

I keep getting a “connection timed out” error message. I have rebooted both my modem and router to no avail.

Funny thing is that it wouldn’t even connect to WiFi 5 unless I lowered the security from WPA2/3 to just WPA 2.

Might there be another settings issue in my Asus 98 Pro router that night be causing the Fire Stick to not connect to 6E?

I have already disabled WiFi 7 setting but no luck.

Also how much of a risk is lowering the 5GHz wireless security to just WPA2 personal?

Should I just connect the Fire Stick to a “Guest Network” instead?

Are you certain it says wifi 6E or simply wifi 6 big difference.

Definitely states 6E. Noted on the website description as well. Something is causing a connection timeout error message.
