Sense does not recognize Wifi6

Trying to connect my Sense to the Wifi6 router and the scan does not find the router. When I enter the network manually, it says Network out of reach.

I fixed it. I updated the router to enabled 2.4GHz. That was off. Apparently Fitbit does not recognize 5GHz either.

Most iot devices do not support 5.0. 

Smart thermostats

Lights 

Switches

Scales

Cameras

Garmin watches. 

All stock with 2.5

Apple is the only one that has supports for 5.0

@MikeJ70 said it perfectly. The bandwidth just isn't required for such a device, so no need to make other sacrifices to include tech that serves little extra purpose.
