Orbi 963 no SSID for 6ghz network

[pdt708]

Hey all,

We just received our new Orbi 963. We have turned on the 6ghz channel and renamed the SSID. We are unable to see the 6ghz network though from any of our devices (m1 iPad Pro and/or iPhone 13 Pro). Any thoughts on what's going on?

The iPhone 13 Pro does not support the 6G WiFi frequencies, also called WiFi6E

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is in the 5G frequency band. Only WiFi6E is in the 6G frequency band.

Same for the m1 iPad Pro:

Ipad pro and iphone 13 don't have 6ghz. They have wifi 6 but not 6E. 

so they won't be able to "see" it
