I have a firestick 4k max and a wifi 6 router but when I go to analiti it says it’s only in 5ghz how do I get it to go to wifi 6 ?
Settings/network click on the 6 setting network (ssid) name and enter your password.

There is no wifi 6 option for network it’s all under the same name spectrum wifi 6 router won’t let you change any settings. But wifi 6 works on my phone just not on firestick
I don’t see that setting in my max
The router should have what’s called auto tether, with that set to automatic it will auto connect to the best setting for your device.
I recommend turning it off that way you can see all three networks. 2.4 5 and 6.
It will showup in your wifi settings. Show all networks to make sure the router is the one your connecting too.

But on the router it has 2.4GHz 5GHz and 6GHz that the WiFi 6 is, so you should be able to choose whichever one you want in settings/network. If you don’t see it then click the See All Networks and find it. They may be all called the same but one will have
_2.4
Then
_5
Then
_6
So lets say your network is called “infinite”
You will see
INFINITE_2.4
INFINITE_5
INFINITE_6

He won’t see that if auto tethering is on, it will auto connect to one of those if the connection is supported.
I can’t speak for all routers and modems but it is an option. I know this as I had to change setting in my modems bios.

That’s odd. I’ve never heard of automatic tethering on a modem only when say using a phone as a hotspot.

It may not be that way for every router or modem, but when you can’t see the networks as as described, that would be why.
That’s exactly why I read up on what router I have,make myself an admin, change the ssid, password, and channel settings after using the necessary tools. I can’t even find a router model with this option to read up on, so it can’t be many routers that use this setting or even have it, but good to know. Now I wonder if the OP got this resolved.
If looking for 6ghz you will need a wifi6e router, which is not supported in 4k max.
Not entirely sure what you’re referring to or saying. If you have a WiFi 6 modem and your IP supports it, the 4K Max has the coding for, and will run, WiFi 6.
Have wifi6 router, has no 6ghz frequency. To get 6ghz frequency a wifi6e router is needed. Router’s app should tell what devices are connected and what frequency is being used.
The topic creator has indicated he has a wifi 6 router.
He also may be to far away from it to get wifi6. Waiting to hear back from @Dolphinsfan1113 about what’s going on.
It’s a spectrum wifi 6 router my other compatible devices will use wifi 6 but not the firestick 4k max. The router just uses 1 name they won’t let you make different ones for 2.4 ghz or 5ghz or wifi 6. My firestick is only 1 foot away from it.
If your isp supports wifi 6 from the modem and have a capable router then it should auto connect to the best one 2.4 5 or 6.
If you don’t see the network it’s auto tethered, I’m not sure beyond that why it’s doing that other than are you sure you have the 4k max with 6 support?

Yes I am sure I have right one. I it should auto select like the other devices do. But when I go into analiti and scan it says on 5 ghz
Are you sure your IP has WiFi 6. Not all do.
