Troubleshooting the SSID:


A. Broadcast the SSID:

Perhaps you are not broadcasting the SSID (IOW: "Hiding the network name")? If you do not broadcast it, then the SSID will not be seen. So, log in to your router with the default gateway, and change the settings.


B. Restart the Router:

Power off your Router for 30 seconds, and then power it back on.


C. Try Other Devices:

Do other devices see this? If not, then it is likely the network, and not this device alone.

"My HP see's and connects to the wifi 6 SSID with no problems.: My iPhone's, 13 pro and 14 pro will not even show the 6 SSID. no option to even connect. only see's the 5 and 2.4."

Compatibility: iPhone 11 and later models is capable of connecting to Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax). Is incompatibly is not the culprit. So, try a different band, reporting back if that is off success.
