As communicated with @firemaguy, per our research, we believe the WiFi client devices do not enable the 6GHz band in that region at this point. Looks the administration for that region just adopted WiFi 6GHz recently.

Re: RS700 6GHz band not visible
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Does any WiFi scanner app show any signals on 6Ghz?
Does disabling WiFi Security temporarily show anything? Set back to Mixed WPA2/WPA3 modes after checking this.
Factory reset and setup from scratch?

Re: RS700 6GHz band not visible
Modem is Huawei EchoLife HG8040H
Tried to scan wifi signal across the whole 6GHz band on my mobile, no 6GHz signal could be found.
I can only disable Wifi security on the 2.4 and 5GHz band, 6GHz one is fixed to WPA3. Still no 6GHz signal if I disable the 2.4/5G Wifi security. Also tried factory reset and setup from scratch. Still no luck.

Re: RS700 6GHz band not visible
Hi @firemaguy, did you set different SSID for different band? if you have done that, can you go to the router's management Web GUI, go to the ADVANCED tab, then get the screenshots for the Wireless Settings (6GHz) like below?
Thanks.
