    Problems with wifi6

    I have an gt-axe16000 router but Wi-Fi 6 does not appear on my iPhone 15 Pro, and I changed the 160MHz configuration and nothing. I also factory reset the router but I have had no results.

I have a pretty petty 3000 sq ft house. I have read several threads here, and I see there are...
