6Ghz wifi not showing up on 6e capable devices
Hi to all,
Before deciding on a mesh system, specifically for 6Ghz wifi band, I verified and confirmed my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE5G, Samsung Galaxy S23, and the other two Lenovo laptops can see our SSID for 6Ghz. Apart from these, friends and family that have visited us with 6/6e capable devices does not show-up either. I am no longer focused on 6e since we can't even see 6!
2.4Ghz and 5Ghz work fine but it's throwing money out the door if I can't connect to 6Ghz. Before anyone even tells me, "Are you sure your devices are 6Ghz/6e capable wifi cards/chipset and that the drivers are up-to-date"? Yes, they are. We have several operating systems for the devices that we use at home. A Windows 11 Lenovo laptop from work, two other Lenovo laptops with Zorin OS(both laptops have the latest drivers for 6Ghz as well as the kernel version- 6.2.2), two Samsung Galaxy phones (Samsung Galaxy S20 FE5G, Samsung Galaxy S23).
Friends of mine with capable wifi 6 cellphones, Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G, iPhone 14 PRO, and iPhone 14. I have a bunch of IoT clients that obviously connect to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and I for this reason, I am not going to accept the following answer, "reset/restore factory settings and see if this works to show 6Ghz". Nope! It's a tedious task to start from scratch, name the SSID's, restore/reconnect the lights, the tv's, the smart door, smart video doorbell, smart vaccum cleaners, smart air purifiers and several cameras around the house.
Any help is appreciated!
