Question about 6 Ghz wifi for RAXE500 router owners

In the Nighthawk app, does the 6 Ghz signal strength of your router keep fluctuating (sometimes up to +/- 10 dbm? Would like to know if my router is defective.

    6ghz doesn't penetrate as well or as far as 5ghz/2.4ghz. 

    You'll see more variables with it.
