WIFI 6 not showing up on Max Hub

Hi.

 

How do I use WIFI 6 on max hub?

 

Its not showing up in the settings. I assume my iPhone 15 pro is WIFI 6 compatible.

 

Cheers

Typically the WiFi generation isn't something which is optional, or that shows up by default on a broadcast signal.  It's a technology specification which hardware is built to comply with rather than a physical thing in itself.

As your phone and the Max Hub are both compatible then they should be using the additional functions of WiFi 6 to communicate: whether that's actually of any benefit instead of (for example) WiFi 5 depends very much on the local wireless environment.  Almost nothing a phone can do will be improved by additional speed though: streaming UHD video takes about 30Mbs at most.
