BE550 6GHz Invisible on iPhone 16 Pro
Hi,
My iPhone 16 Pro runnign iOS 18.4 developer beta 4 cannot see the 6GHz SSID I set on BE550, and the phone stays on 5GHz when connected via MLO mode. Have tried to enable/disable PSC mode and picked channels manually, set the signal to 160MHz instead of 320MHz, everything but to no avail. The phone just stays on the 5GHz SSID very steadily.
I'm in Macau and WIFI 7 is on the market already, so this issue is rather unfortunate.
Would appreciate any advise. Thanks!

Hi @halden2714,
If you are experiencing issues with your devices not detecting the Wi-Fi network of your TP-Link Archer Router, or only can detect 2.4G, or 5G, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:
For 6GHz network:
1. Make sure the 6GHz network is enabled and not hidden, you may check this on the Tether APP > More > Wi-Fi Settings.
2. Make sure your client device supports 6GHz Wi-Fi, drivers and system are all up to date.
3. Make sure you are using the Router and the client device in a country that allows Wi-Fi 6E/7 operation, if your Router and client device are not purchased from the same country, Wi-Fi 6E operation might not be available.

Did you find any solution for this?

Yes and no - I have a workaround now but I don't see it as a solution.
I switched to Ubiquiti Dream Router 7. The issue persisted and then spent a lot of time googling. One article from a Samsung user forum suggested that disabling the location service on an S24 allowed for connection to 6GHz SSID. So I disabled the location service for Networking and Wireless on my iPhone and miraculously it did the trick.
I suspected this was due to the differences in regional regulation and WiFi specifications that I couldn't get a connection to my 6GHz SSID. But now I have a "fix" I kinda just forget about it.
Hope this helps.

@halden2714 So simply disabling the location on your phone worked for you?
