nothing is out of the usual on my cellphone and the router has ventilation its in a open environment no dust or build up of any sort. and I haven't changed any thing specific on the radios on the router for the channels they've been that way since I've bought it. it's been running fine everything seems normal I've tried unplugging the ethernet switch I have connected to the router and it's still drops the "6G" all device have update drivers and software updates. but again my phone constantly drops only the "6G" no devices are running it. I'm the only who actually connects to it I've tried reboots, I've tried power cycling. I've checked all cables and all connections all fine its literally the "6G" dropping and it's never done that before the only thing I can think of now is a factory reset.
I own a three year old S9 and there are application updates once or twice a week. The last S9 operating system update was just over a month ago. I find it difficult to believe there have been no updates on your S22 in the past month. If that is the case, before you do a factory reset on your router I recommend you make certain all of your applications and your Android operating system on your phone are up to date. Have you tried to forget the network on your phone and connect fresh by entering the password again?
Recommend you do a web search for "samsung s22 connecting to wifi 6e". There are dozens of hits where owners have issues with the S22 connecting to and staying connected to the 6E Wi-Fi.
Blame the router if you want to. In general, when a client device has problems connecting to or staying connected to Wi-Fi, the issues are with the client device (in this case your phone).

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
