Yes, in message 9, he said, "I guess I pushed enough buttons enough times but I am connected now." My guess is that his earlier inability to connect was caused by something external, and that the button-pushing was unrelated to the resolution. I'm probably using the term RFI in a non-standard way: if a neighbor's WiFi6 implementation causes problems on your network, I consider that a type of RFI. Obviously, if the problem is your own WiFi6 implementation, that's a compatibility issue, not interference. In cases where a nearby WiFi6 network causes problems, moving the radio closer to the router or access point wouldn't be likely to improve the situation, would it?
