How do I connect using Wi-Fi 6E

[Shane]

I have the Telus Boost Wi-Fi 6E access point (the white trash can). My computer supports Wi-Fi 6E, but is connecting to the 5 GHz band. How can I connect using the 6 GHz band?

Thanks,
Shane.

I was unaware of the wifi6 until I saw my cell phone connect to it.

How did you determine the computer supports wifi 6?

The product specifications say it has "Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (2x2); HP Extended Range Wireless LAN; Modern Standby (Connected)".

I don't know what extended range wireless LAN is.

@Shane Yes you appear to have the feature. A quick search suggests it may need to be turned on in your settings.

google activate Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (Gig+) Module

I can't find anything in Google. I asked a question in the HP community.

Through the webpage of the Booster 6E you can turn on and name the 6E SSID which would then be available to all your in range 6E devices.

I have my Samsung S22 Ultra and my Macbook Pro 2023 connected has 6E devices.

Note that other devices can connect with WiFi6 (not 6E).  They should show a little "6" along with "WiFi" to confirm even if they are connecting to your regular SSID.
