Hi,
I have a wifi 7 router (ZTE G5 Ultra) and it has a 6ghz band for wifi 6E + wifi 7 compatible devices. In iOS 18, i had no issues at all connecting my iphone 15 pro and iphone 16 pro models to the 6ghz band. But having updated both phones to iOS 26, they refuse to connect 90% of the time to the 6ghz band and occasionally when they do connect, a day or so later they disconnect and the phones no longer see the 6ghz band. Range isn't an issue as the phones and router are in the same small room. Router has been reset, with different channels etc selected on the 6ghz band but the issue still exists. Is anyone seeing similar behaviour? If this really is a bug,I guess it would be impossible for me to report this to Apple as i'm not enrolled in the Beta program?
Cheers
 
I had some interesting issues/warnings on my Apple devices after installing a new wifi 7 router and what fixed is was deleting the known network, albeit had the same name, then adding it back.
