Orbi RBk852 where can I see if WIFI 6 is working?

Hello, where can I see if wifi 6 is working? in my speed port router I can see a number (6) behind the client...and where should I plugin my pc with lan, in the access point (orbi) or in my router (speed port) when both are at the same place?

  • Wifi 6 doesn't normally show on your devices. its more about what speed it connects at. 

    None of my devices say "wifi 6"

     

    Not sure what you mean by your "speed port" router. 

    Are you using more than 1 router?

    Connecting a PC to the router with a cable is called a 'wired' connection, which is a different technology than WiFi (radio). (and for most people, a better connection).

     

    In general, when the customer has connected an Orbi WiFi router to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) box, all of the customer's devices should be connected to the Orbi system and the only thing connected to the ISP should be the Orbi router WAN port.
