What is everyone's experience with WiFi 6E who has a iPhone 15 Pro (or a recent Mac)? With the iPhone, I notice that at times it's amazingly fast - I have a 1200 Mbps d/l plan, I can see 1100 Mbps. Other times walking around the house, I'll get 7-8 seconds to bring up a web page; speed test of 300, turn off 6E and I get 700 and instantaneous web pages in the same spot.

I have a Netgear RS960E router and 2 satellites, and signal coverage throughout the house is excellent - I have checked it with a signal analyzer.

I have read that 6E could likely be a disappointment as its range is quite small compared to 5 GHz and of course 2.4 GHz.

I have actually turned it off on my iPhone and Macs, things seem to be much more stable and fast. What is everyone else's experiences?
