How can I Tell if iPhone is using WiFi 6 ?
Your iPhone 12 Pro Max supports the Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax).
The real question is: does your router support Wi-Fi 6 too?
If yes, your iPhone will use Wi-Fi 6. If no, your iPhone will use Wi-Fi 5 (or lower).
Nice insight, thanks. why does the iPhone not just connect to the fastest option?
of course my router does WiFi 6 802.11ax
reguardless, my question is still unanswered tho and your insight is not actionable until it is~
see what you can come up w my friend. there’s gotta be some kinda app, webpage, whatever to tell ya if you are on ac or ax, etc
The iPhone 11 and later is capable of connecting to Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Now the question is what is the router/modem that you are connecting to? If it has WiFi 5 or WiFi 4 the iPhone 11 and higher will only connect to WiFi 5 or WiFi 4 because it has downward compatibility. If the router has WiFi 6 802.11ax it will seamlessly connect to it with WiFi 6.
In other words, if you have an iPhone, which has 802.11ac Wi‑Fi 5, it will connect to a router with only 802.11ac WiFi 5 even if the router has WiFi 6 (802.11ax).
Nice insight, thanks. None of the responses answer the question tho & of course my router does WiFi 6.
IPhone 12 Pro Max using WiFi 6?
