Check your BIOS settings for 6GHz support and ensure your chipset allows it. If not, contact your manufacturer or consider a compatible upgrade.
I checked online and found information about turning on the Ultra High Power mode to support 6G. However, this feature isn’t available on the adapter, despite its label as a 6E device.
Your choice depends on whether you’re on a contract or not. You might swap your gateway for a customer-owned modem or switch to bridge mode and buy your own router. Many recent plans come with gateways and unlimited data, though sometimes the included data requires using the gateway. Based on my experience with the XB3, it’s straightforward to put their gateways in bridge mode. For mesh networks, I’ve mostly used older systems like the first-gen Google WiFi, which aren’t optimized for speed. My sister has Gigabit Internet and still manages to get decent performance. I’ve seen ASUS routers assembled with AI MESH, but I think a mesh setup could offer better results. I’m curious about signal loss through cables—longer runs can weaken the connection. Remember, WiFi prioritizes stability over speed, so moving closer to the router helps. When using higher frequency bands (5 and 6 GHz), range drops and penetration weakens, often forcing slower speeds. Even with fast phones, different chipset configurations affect performance. Consider using a WiFi analyzer app on your Android device to check signal strength in the 5 and 6 GHz bands. If you decide on a mesh system, use that data to plan the placement of mesh nodes.
