I called tech support today and they said both my 13 Pro Max and M1 should be able to connect to wifi 6 as it is not just limited to 6E, Unless they are wrong, but seems dumb to only support 6E when 99% of the devices can only use 6ax.
It looks like mine is set to broadcast, but doesn't seem to. They had me factory reset the router and setup a call back for tomorrow if that didn't fix it and it didn't.
I will press more tomorrow to see if it is only 6E or not.

Notice that neither iPhone 13 Pro Max nor M1 MacBook supports WiFi 6E. iPhone 13 Pro Max and M1, however, supports WiFi 6 on 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands.
802.11ax standard includes both WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E. It is confusing to use 802.11ax to refer to WiFi 6 or WiFi 6E. WiFi 6 and 6E need NOT to operate on 5GHz or 6GHz, exclusively and respectively. WiFi 6 can operate on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, while WiFi 6E can operate on 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz.

Yes I know that and if you look, this does support wifi 6 and should work, even tech support told me that twice now.
There are no 6E only routers, they all still support 6.

Either way, 2-3 months is the new iPhone which supports 6E. I have not had Wifi 6 or 6E ever yet, so waiting 2-3 months is fine. 😀
