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!

Are people really having problems with 6E capable devices connecting to the Deco router? I have three 6E devices and have zero problems with the Deco XE75/5300 routers connecting to it. Something seems wrong with the 6E device if that is having problems and is not Deco's fault. I think people get confused when they hear it is Wifi 6 capable thinking that means it is 6 GHz capable when it needs to be Wifi 6E capable to get the 6 GHz band.

Where do you see that it is empty? Are you able to see the seperate 6GHz Network bring broadcast? There has been a recent toggle added to open the 6GHz band for both backhaul and client use - make sure that you have enabled this option if you cannot see the network.
