Samsung Galaxy S25 and Wi-Fi 7

I have the Orbi 773. The Galaxy S25 work great with Wi-Fi 7 and where the reception is marginal, Wi-Fi 7 has a substantially stronger connection speed than Wi-Fi 6e.   However, this seems to be a Samsung problem that the battery usage on Wi-Fi 7 is substantially greater than Wi-Fi 6e.  If you have this problem, do a Google search on how to disable Wi-Fi 7 on the Samsung phone.  You will also find many comments about this.  Hopefully Samsung will come up with a fix.

      The Orbi app and the web GUI can display that wrong information.  It has happened to me, but with the latest firmware it corrects after several days.  As a test, try enabling IoT and setting it to 5GHz only and connect your Galaxy S25 to the IoT SSID.
