Justin Thomas 🛡 on Nostr: Apparently enabling 6Ghz on a WiFi network breaks everything not made in the last ...
Apparently enabling 6Ghz on a WiFi network breaks everything not made in the last year or two. And disabling it doesn't resolve anything for those devices (Amazon Fire, Echo, Samsung TVs, even Raspberry Pi).
Unifi really should have a big red indicator saying "DANGER" in their interface. I just threw a first gen Echo in the trash because even after a factory reset, it's apparently blacklisted now ("device not registered") and I'd have to call Amazon to fix it.
