Ultra and Wi-Fi 6E

[skalata]

My Ultra will not connect to my Nest Pro Wi-Fi 6gHz network. 5 gHz works fine, and other devices in my house connect to 6G, but my Ultra only "sees" the 5 gHz network.
Yes, I've turned off the "5 gHz only" option in the app and it makes no difference.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I have a vague memory that WiiM need to update it to support 6e and that’s not been done yet. Best asking WiiM directly by submitting a ticket thru the more/feedback section in the app.

Ultra has 6ghz capability but was not activated. It need firmware or app to get it working.

Using 2G WiFi signal is actually the best. The speed is fine for audio streaming and coverage is better than for higher frequencies.

Understood. I know 6G does not matter much for audio streaming.
thanks

As part of the spec and feature, it should be working out of the box whether you use it or not. It’s part of its design and feature you pay for.

So...Is anyone's Ultra connecting to 6ghz Wi-Fi?

Doesn't look like it.. and there's no option for now.

600Mbps is plenty fast though

Just received my Ultra today went to connect it to my wifi 6E router but no joy, just came across this post and am really surprised that it is not yet available?, seems all the marketing etc mentions 6E as a major selling point am quite disappointed but apart from that loving the Ultra.
