Would appreciate any advice on the following. I've just replaced my old Amplifi system with a Unifi based one. Performance on 5Ghz is
outstanding, and in all honesty, I could probably just ignore 6Ghz entirely... but I don't want to
. My setup is as follows:
UCG-Max - 2.5gb Flex mini - 2 x U7 Pro's (ground floor / middle floor). All hardwired, wireless meshing disabled. Everything shows as 2.5gb as expected for backhaul.
The problem I am having is that the 6Ghz ssid is rarely visible by the devices that can use it (two Quest 3's and phones - Oneplus 11's, and son's gaming pc), even if I'm stood under the AP. Things I have tried so far:
- Dedicated 6Ghz ssid - never shows up on scans from my devices.
- Dual 5/6 ssid - the 5ghz is recognised, but never the 6. Phones show it as 5ghz only.
- Raising the transmit power to max.
- Disabling almost every other setting (BSS, etc)
- Different channel width's (20 all the way to 320Mhz).
- Manually setting the channel.
Nothing seems to get the 6Ghz visible at all, but from the network controller it always says it has a far stronger signal than 5Ghz. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here that someone here can hopefully assist with. There have been times were the 6Ghz ssid randomly shows up and can be used, but it disappears within minutes. I'm in a fairly rural location in a detached house, so there's zero interference on the 5/6ghz bands too.
If someone out there could post their settings for the UCG-Max and their 6e/7 AP's that work for them, I'd really appreciate it. The network is full Unifi now, so I'm fairly confident what works for you guys will work for me.
