S24 WiFi 7 is not enable for Malaysia

Dear Samsung users. Just take note your s24 doesn't have WiFi 7 enable. Although advertised

Are you actually referring to the S24 or one of the older Samsung device? And are you talking about WiFi 6E or WiFi 7? Because if it's about WiFi 7, it was stated clearly that the base model won't support WiFi 7. So, what's the issue with that?

[ChewyBites]

All of them.. none of the Samsung supporting WiFi 6e or 7 via software. So the issues is to get Samsung to enable it via software.

As of 6 September 2025, I’ve been using WiFi 7 for about two weeks. Previously, I was stuck on WiFi 6 and eventually figured out the issue that was blocking access to WiFi 7.

Here’s the solution:
Regardless of your router brand, some routers are set by default to use WPA2 security — the one you see when checking your WiFi password security level.

You should select at least a WPA2/WPA3 combination. The key is that WPA3 must be enabled.
(Some IoT devices can only use WPA2, so the combination option is the best setting in my opinion.)

I’ve been troubleshooting this for a while. I'm using a Xiaomi BE7000 router and had been forced to stick with WiFi 6 for the past 1.5 years.

Now that WiFi 7 is running, you’ll notice significantly reduced loading times — likely due to the 4096-QAM (4K-QAM) modulation.

Hope this helps anyone facing issues with WiFi 7.
Kudos!

Note:
I'm now facing an MLO (Multi-Link Operation) issue.
I’m using a Samsung S24 Ultra and the WiFiman app shows both WiFi 7 and MLO as enabled, but my phone doesn’t display the "7+" logo that usually indicates MLO is active. So, I suspect it’s once again a setting-related issue.

Wifi 6e is enable now!

I heard S23 (6E) also not enabled

[ChewyBites]

Yes. They use the same bandwidth. So I assume they enable 6e ...7 can be use as well

[RRSharizam]

Who uses WiFi 7 anyway? The router itself is very expensive. But it's nice to have the option, just in the extreme case that I need it.

[ChewyBites]

I have WiFi 6e router. TP link XE75 is same price as WiFi 6. To unblock 6ghz will enable both WiFi 6e and 7. But it's a software limitation in Malaysia but hardware is ready. It's like saying you have a Ferrari engine but running on eco mode. Cause the software don't allow sport mode

[RRSharizam]

It's not sports vs eco mode. It's more like sports vs sports+ mode. You'll make a full use of it if you have 10+ Gbps internet plan.

[ChewyBites]

That is true. But the benefit is also because 6ghz bandwidth is not congested.. like 5ghz. Everyone has 5ghz WiFi. 6ghz is like a bandwidth that you be only using it if you live in an apartment that has WiFi left right top and bottom of your units.
