Wifi 7 speeds vs Wifi 6E speeds (Samsung Phones)
I recently upgraded to a Samsung S24 Ultra. Was surprised to see a Wifi 7 icon when I had setup my phone at home with my Orbi RBE 970s. However it felt like it was slower. I still have my old ...
It should.
It could be simply rebooting the wireless allowed it to switch to the 6ghz. Sometimes roaming or turning the wifi on/off can cause the phone to go "oh this network is better. lets use it".
A couple points to make.
1. you don't say (and the settings don't show) if you're connecting to the 5ghz channels or the 6ghz ones.
2. you'd expect the 80hz wide device to be slower as its link speed potential is half that of 160hz. Your testing is showing that.
I'd be looking at if you're connecting to 6ghz or 5ghz. My RBE970 is rock solid. But if you're only connecting at 80hz, you'd expect it to be half. With both devices capable of connecting to 6ghz, you need to check if it actually is connecting to that band. With the phone bandsteering, it might be on the 5ghz
