iPhone 17 Pro WiFi 6E issues
Just an fyi. I run the EAP772 access points that are Wifi 6E capable and this new phone runs laggy as hell. There are definitely some issues using WiFi 6E on iOS 26. If I disable 6E in the WiFi menu it then runs perfect. This is the only 17 Pro in the house. All the other phones are 16s running iOS 18 with no degradation using WiFi 6E. If you notice the same laggy internet you should disable WiFi 6E until resolved by Apple.

Hi @Tazed1
Thanks for posting here.
To understand the situation better, would you please share with us the following info:
1. this new phone runs laggy as hell.
>>>When you say "laggy," do you mean network lag (like video buffering) or overall phone slowdown (such as delays when switching between apps)?
2. What's the wifi settings of the EAP772? Did you enable MLO? Please kindly share some screenshots of the wifi config of EAP;
3. If don't enable 6Ghz, and enable wifi6E mode, will the same situation happen?
3. Do you have any other EAP models? what's the performance?
In the meantime, our team is currently in the process of procuring iPhone 17 test units. We will keep you updated as soon as there are any developments.
The phone itself is not laggy only videos and games. I disabled wifi6e in the phone wireless settings and then it runs fine. I have the EAP772 access points. Everyone else has iPhone 16s with WiFi6E enabled and they are working perfectly fine. The only difference is that they are all on iOS 18 and this phone on iOS 26. Currently the new phone is only running on the 5g wireless since I turned off wifi6e on the phone and it is running good. Yes, MLO is on.
