Previously old router, didnt get it to work seamlessly, now with a new WIFI-6 router, also didnt get it to work properly, so after trialing for 1-2 weeks decided to turn it off.

If router is place in living room, everything good, most device will link up  on 5Ghz and everything working fine. Rooms at edge or toilets will get very weak signal or no signal. So cannot work.

Router place back at the hallway/walkway location, everywhere getting decent coverage.
Problem happens when you are at the edge or where 5Ghz signal start to drop off and you will get occasion issue where no signal and the wifi drop the 5Ghz and connect to 2.4Ghz and cant find anyway to go around this problem. So switched off band steering and manually connect to either 5Ghz signal or 2.4Ghz signal.

Also did manual channel settings, find an unused channel and use that band.

2.4ghz penetrates wall better than 5ghz even thought band rate is lower.
