It’s hard to define model because every year MacBook Pro is just MacBook Pro, but I remember it has the M2 Max chip so I Googled it, something like this one:
Refurbished 16-inch MacBook Pro Apple M2 Max Chip with 12‑Core CPU and 38‑Core GPU - Space Gray

(Except he opted for the smaller 14” screen I believe. Also I verified under tech specs the 6E).
Quite memorable since we spent so much on it my son literally called Apple tech support and handed me the phone when I was trying to get it to connect on 6 GHz. First thing the guy/tech on the line said was to press the reset button on the ASUS router. I pressed it for like 10 secs and it did not reset. I had to press it a second time. Of course I had to rebuild my network of 5 nodes afterwards. (And it did not solve the connection issue. So I had my son go study at our house while the network here at my parents was down).
Thank you for confirming this. We still have that single 6 GHz device, so since I now have two 6 GHz channels, I wanted to set up the backhaul with free range of channel selection, as I assume the AXE16000 node should handle that, (if it needs to fall back on WiFi backhaul). I was also curious if maybe Apple MacOS has been updated to work with all the channels vs just PSC.
Currently I have “quad band SmartConnect” with 2.4, 5 GHz, 5GHz-2 (assumed on the AXE16000 node), and 6 GHz-1. Initially with the MacBook it seemed to reject SmartConnect including the 6 GHz channel. Now I see it connected to the 6 GHz-1. Curious to what it would do if I force 6 GHz-1 to non-PSC would it then jump to 6 GHz-2 (because it still needs PSC)…
