WIFI 7 IS NOT SHOWING UP ON MY DEVICES
Ok I made an equerry about my device not giving wifi 7 on a particular phone which at the time was the latest google pixel 9 pro xl, So I went and bought the latest Samsung s25 ultra and what comes up is wifi6 If these are automatic I went to all three devices stood beside them switch the phone over to them and wifi 6 is what shows up anybody else having this issue? When I search in the wifi section I see a wifi 7 signal but it is not from my router, goes to show the phone is very much capable of showing the wifi 7 sign.

I don't have a phone or pad that supports WIFI7, however both of my desktop PCs have Intel BE200 PCIe series WIFI7 cards installed and both see WIFI7 and MLO when connected.
I might contact Samsung about this as well.

Would be as WiFI7 would not be seen there. Only with the device connected to the system using both 5 and 6Ghz.
I'd make contact with Samsung about this.
Have any other WiFi7 devices to check this?

Oh, my. The Orbi primary SSID shows up on the S25 Ultra list of WiFi networks with a "6" inside the symbol instead of a "7"? (as in this video)
