Unable to see Wifi6 SSID
Hi , I have a Dell XPS 17 9710. It comes with a factory installed Wifi6 card (Killer 1650s) which is Wi-Fi 6 (WiFi 802.11ax) capable. I installed the latest Intel driver for this card and it displ...
The killer 1650 doesn't have 6ghz.
Its a little confusing.
Wifi 6 is wifi AX that includes 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
Wifi 6E includes the 6ghz band.
The Killer is only 2.4ghz and 5ghz. not 6ghz.
What about the iPhone 13 Pro? I own it and can't see the 6GHz SSID in the Wifi list, thanks
UPDATE: From Netgear support site: "WiFi 6E builds on the existing WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard. WiFi 6E offers all of the cutting-edge features of WiFi 6 and allows access to a new 6 GHz wireless band.
Apple iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, and Pro models of each do not support WiFi 6E and cannot access the 6 GHz wireless band."
Too bad...
Your correct. it doesn't have 6ghz.
there are a few cards that support 6ghz. You can probably upgrade the card in your computer to one that supports 6ghz. I wouldn't though. I've got 2x computers with 6ghz and for the most part, its mostly a gimmick. Reason I say that is that its shorter range. So unless you're close by your router, your 5ghz works as well. (from my experience).
