I looked through the router manual posted earlier and there is nothing explicitly wifi6 or the ability to turn it off. Only SON. Since it is a isp provided device, it's options seem to be dumbed down to me. Agree (as I and others stated previously) that an older router could help. We don't know anything about neighbors or proximity of neighbors, that query has not been answered. Besides, RF power falls off over the square of the distance, so you should be able to use proximity to your router as a test to see if it's a neighbor. Similarly, if it is another router and you are trying to operate a good distance from yours, it could be troublesome. I had asked about neighbors, and I had suggested using an app to look for nearby networks, along with many other things that don't get followed up on. I feel strongly it is time to enter a process of elimination through testing, but until Phil tries these suggestions and relays results, we are just spinning our wheels. So at this point I think I'll just step aside until we start getting some feedback. Having said all that, I realize that we/he has been working for months on this (see all threads), and it can be very frustrating. There is no one right answer, and the radios seem to have a wifi Achilles heel. I wouldn't blame him at all for giving up.
