970 Router and satellite are up and running. Speed test looks great. When I am in the room with the satellite I maintain a 6E connection no issues. However if I move to the room right next to where the main 970 router / base is located, I lose that 6E and I frequently drop the connection / have to manually reconnect.
I am using a Samsung ultra 23 phone.
Any ideas why the main router would not broadcast 6E whole standing next to it? Is my satellite potentially canceling our my routers signal ?
- Fwiw, since upgrading to a phone that now supports Wifi 7, I have had zero connection issues along with outrageous speeds. That may be due to the nature of Wifi 7 (using both 6 and 5ghz channels) vs just Wifi 6.
My wife is still having connection issues with her Apple products which are limited to Wifi 6.
But quite pleased and happy with Wifi 7 and excited for more devices to roll out with Wifi 7 connectivity.Thanks for letting us know. Hoping next FW update will be better for everyone.
