Can't seem to find much on the WiFi regulations there in terms of which channels are allowed.
The closest info i can find seems to be just what wikipedia is linking to, since non-archived links do not seem to be working.

Beyond that, the 6GHz lists are still pretty small and in great need of more entries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#6_GHz_(802.11ax)
At this point, the only way I can think of to minimize trial an error to see which channels work, is to check if Israel has the equivalent of a searchable FCC style database, such as https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid where you can input an a regulatory ID of a device and it will tell you which frequencies it is allowed to operate on, thus effectively providing up to date info on what is generally allowed.

Thanks for your reply.
The router is purchased in US (region in wifi settings us USA), I'm located in Israel, wifi 6e is allowed to be used in Israel. So maybe it's definitely channels issue, maybe you know where I can find information about channels for different countries?
Btw, it's not possible to change region in the router.
Thanks a lot!

- slavagoDec 04, 2022AspirantThanks!
Will try to find, it's definitely something that Samsung phone changed upon arrival to Israel, as same phone with the same router worked fine in US few days ago.
Really appreciate your assistance.
