Brend:

cyril7: Hi for your requirement there is no need to use DFS channels, as others have mentioned wpa3 is likely the issue, either disable it on your current ssid, or stand up another ssid that is wpa2 only, personally for a home system, just drop the wpa3.

Cyril

Thanks, but that means dropping 6GHz. Not an issue right now, but in future it might be. Or I should just create another SSID for the old stuff

Why do you need 6GHz?

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Thanks for all the responses and help. I learnt a lot. I have reverted to dual band and both WPA2/WPA3 security mode and everything works as it should

Just to let you know, the Iphone 6s might stop working on WPA2/WPA3 mixed after some time. This happened to me and I had to setup a WPA2 only SSID just for it.

As someone who uses tech for a seriously long time, until it wears out, I kept my 6+ for six years. The 6S must be eight or nine years old by now - so that's a really good effort.

iPhone SE is the same as size as a 6/6S/7 with new internals. There is talk this wont be around for much longer and an new SE is coming out, so I would upgrade soon.

I am not sure what you mean by what country it is set to, but I guess it would be the NZ/Auckland Timezone setting

If you have a Mac, the "Wireless Diagnostics" app (do a Spotlight search for it) will show the country of your and your neighbours' access points (do a "Scan" from the menu). There is likely to be a similar app available for Windows.

There is also one for iOS devices: https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/airport-utility/id427276530

Comes in quite handy with channel numbers and signal strength indicators.

Never had any Apple device have an issue on Grandstream, using any channel/width combo. Apple devices will only connect at 20MHz width on 2.4GHz channels.

As others have said, most likely a WPA3 issue - here the Apple list of WPA3 supported products https://support.apple.com/en-nz/guide/security/sec8a67fa93d/web iPhone 6s isn't there.

The iPhone SE is a great option here, and it's still available brand new. There's rumour that the next gen SE will be announced in March next year though, so maybe hold out for now to see what specs it has.

It's unfortunate that the mini iPhones are no longer around. They were a good pocket size. The 13 Mini was the last one available.

I received this email from Apple today: "Starting 29 November, get an Apple Store Gift Card up to NZ$360 when you buy an eligible product.*" Appears to include the SE and note the 'up to'. The next generation SE is rumoured to be larger and heavier.
