How to see which devices connected to XR1000 are using Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)?

Question

How do I determine which devices connected to my XR1000 are using Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)? I'm trying to troubleshoot and see which supposedly Wi-Fi 6 certified deives are actualy using that protocol.

I don't believe this information is currently available in the Netgear Settings, though I'll speak with the team and see if it's possible to add this into the DumaOS Device Manager.

look at their link speeds. an AX device is going to have a faster link speed.

they aren't going to show 'yes, connected using wireless 6"

Its just going to have a higher potential connection link.

Wifi 6 isn't that much faster of a protocol but it does support higher concurrent usage.

How do you look at an individual device's link speed?

plemans · Answer

One the device itself. Not sure about iOS but on android/windows, you can check your wireless connection stats.&nbsp;

Unfortunattely, iOS doesn't make such information available.&nbsp;What i really want is for the NetGear XR1000 router to tell me which devices are connected using which protocol (Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 ac),&nbsp;Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), etc.) and frequency.
