    Wifi 6 Settings


    I have a Wifi6 but i notice that one of some devices has connectivity issues. Now is there some software whereby it can investigate the Wifi6 and then recommend what settings that needs to be on or off (MIMO, IPV6.....)

    Thanks

    Hello @miriboy,

    As a start, to find out what you are dealing with.

    If you wanted to find out what your current IPv6 Protocol Configuration Settings are, Copy & Paste the following command[s] into a CMD Prompt and press Enter.

    Code:
    
    PowerShell "Get-NetIPv6Protocol"

    Similarily, if you wanted to find out ALL your current Properties of IPv6 Protocol Configuration Settings are, Copy & Paste the following command[s] into a CMD Prompt and press Enter.

    Code:
    
    PowerShell "Get-NetIPv6Protocol | Format-List -Property *"

    I have my IPv6 disabled for ALL Network Adapters [ Ethernet & Wi-Fi ], but these are mine respectively . . .

    Code:
    
    DefaultHopLimit               : 128
    NeighborCacheLimit(Entries)   : 256
    RouteCacheLimit(Entries)      : 4096

    Microsoft has some advice about what to check for Wi-Fi 6 (and WPA3):

    It might help if you were to post the make and model of your Router, then maybe someone in your country will be able to assist you.

    I would change the router Wifi settings from 802.11ax to 802.11ac, or even 802.11n if problems still arise.

    Good luck
