WiFi 6E

Curious as to if I have a Wifi 6E router and a compatible client which can receive in 6E, who or what is going to stop the transmission and reception at home ? Or is that going to interfere with some other signal ?

I think the device would refused to transmit the frequency at which 6E operates. I feel you would be able to circumvent this by setting US as the location in router settings.
 
I have TPLink xe75 which I bought off Amazon at launch and it apparently has USA region firmware and it has 6ghz band enabled.

But officially not allowed in India so for example my pixel 7 pro doesn't show the 6e ssid but my asus zenbook s13 laptop with mediatek WiFi chip rz616 similar to 7921 I guess connects fine in clean installed windows and Linux latest kernel too.

Not sure if currently sold xe75 will be USA firmware or what.
In my xe75 basic web UI I see region option but it's read only set to USA.
 
Bought TPLink Archer AXE75 Nov 2022, This router comes with 6GHz Network Indicator along with 2.4 and 5 GHz, Around March 2023 I got a cleint device which comes with 6E (6GHz) capability as per spec sheet. Till date that device never able to find (6GHz) 6E SSID of the router.
 
@dissel which device???

Even my moto edge 30 and pixel 7 pro advertise 6E spec but don't display the axe75 6E ssid... My laptop does.

It's the Fire TV Cube Latest Model, but during this post when I was looking at the spec of the Amazon IN - it clearly mentioned that it supports the wifi ax version which is the WiFi 6 version @ 5GHz channel.

I'm confused, I'm 100% sure it was marketed as a WiFi 6E / 6GHz device.

The us version is advertised as 6E. They probably removed all mentions of 6E for compliance/false advertising reasons.
 
Thanks for all your responses.
The situation arises to a new question from my side... Is it worth it to wait when 6 GHz will be freed up for personal use by Indian authorities or "normal" wifi 6 is good enough?
 
Not really worth waiting unless you want multi gbit speeds in your local network.

I already get 800+ mbps on 5ghz band WiFi 6.
 
How is the client situation like now in terms of 6E ? Are majority devices ready or is it just limited to the high end ones ?
 
I don't think it's limited to high end... Many (maybe not majority) new devices support 6E already like phones and laptops, at least in the last year or so as far as I can see.

So 2 options are to get cheaper WiFi 6 routers or mesh now and upgrade later after a couple of years to maybe even WiFi 7.

Or be like me get VFM wifi 6e kit like TPLink xe75 and hope and pray gormint frees up 6ghz band soon.
