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.

I have the be65 deco, my s24 ultra in Mexico is not seeing the 6ghz band, it says is connected to wifi 7 but in 5ghz band, also when I click in the deco app on my 6ghz network the on advanced and where it shows the channel and bandwidth the deco app crashes, this is only when selecting my 6ghz network on the deco app, other networks work fine any ideas?

You know, it used to be a real pain to see a Wi-Fi password on your iPhone. Thankfully, Apple made it a lot easier now, especially if you're running iOS 16 or later. The trick is, it only works if you've previously connected to the Wi-Fi network and saved the password. You can't just see the password for any random network.
So, if you've connected to the network before, you'll want to go to your iPhone's Settings. Then tap on Wi-Fi. You should see a list of networks you've connected to. Tap the little "i" icon next to the network you're curious about. If you're lucky, you'll see a password field there! It might be hidden at first, but there should be an option to reveal it.
Keep in mind you might need to use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to actually see the password, just for security reasons. If you don't see the password field, it means you probably haven't saved it on your iPhone. In that case, you'll have to ask whoever manages the network for the password, or maybe check the router itself if you have access to it.
