Iphone wifi6 Support?
Hi There, so can I get the Iphone 13 max to connect to Wifi6 or 6e? I enabled Wifi6 only on the router, but I still cant see the SSID in my list of avaliable wifi networks. I only see the 5ghz.
Thoughts?

We need to wait for newer devices for 6E. Current iPhones do not support Wi-Fi 6E: https://kb.netgear.com/000064176/Does-my-Apple-iPhone-iPad-or-Mac-support-WiFi-6E
Apple iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, and Pro models of each do not support WiFi 6E and cannot access the 6GHz wireless band.
What router do you have?
On the iPhone 13 you will get Wifi6 if you your router supports Wifi6.
You won't get Wifi6e, the iPhone 13 doesn't support it.
That doesnt seem to align. I turned on Wifi 6 only on the router, but I dont see the SSID in the list on my Iphone 13 Max.
I have the RBRE960
There is a difference between WiFi6 and WiFi6E.
WiFi6 means 802.11ax, which all of the Netgear 'AX' Orbi's support. This is a new encoding in the 5G WiFi spectrum.
WiFi6E is a totally new in the 6G radio spectrum.
One tiny letter (E) makes all the difference. Perhaps it would be entertaining to do any internet search on WiFi6E
