Wifi 6, and EAP610 access points
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I have 3 EAP610's (v2) setup in the house, the cellphone Wi-Fi shows a "6" next to the signal bar for wireless. Speed tests are about 200-300 over Wi-Fi and as far as I can tell , Wi-Fi 6 is enabled. I can't get anything to actually use it, and I am wondering if there is a setting im missing somewhere?
Model:
ER7206 v1.0

Hey @Doc757,
I think you may be confusing Wi-Fi 6 with Wi-Fi 6E - if you are asking about the 6GHz frequency. The 6 in Wi-Fi 6 is actually the generation of Wi-Fi, not the frequency.
Wi-Fi 6 only uses the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands - just with added optimizations over Wi-Fi 5. The 6GHz band was not introduced until Wi-Fi 6E.
The 6 that you see in the status bar simply means that it is connecting using the latest wireless standard and is making use of all the features that came with Wi-Fi 6.
Here is an overview of some of the differences between Wi-Fi generations.
