Right. Always forget about that. 6GHz licensing in Europe is bad / late. So we didn't get to enjoy the 6e fun here :-/

But I can highly recommend to get Wifi 6 on the 2.4 GHz Band, too. I've finally gotten usable 2.4GHz again as that band was stuck on Wifi 4 (Wifi 5 (ac) was a 5Ghz improvement only).

But WiFi 6E is approved in Europe? I'm in Sweden and my U6-Enterprise is perfectly happy broadcasting in the 6GHz bands without any region hacks.

There is a nice world map. Yes, the lower part of the 6GHz spectrum is enbaled. So only parts if it.

No outdoor use unless power is capped massively

Ah, didn't know that. Is there a plan to enable more of it or has the EU already allocated 6 GHz to some other use?

Wifi.org says it's under consideration. But I wouldn't wait for it to happen.

Due to all of that I mostly ignored the 6GHz wifi stuff.... So interesting to hear it's working for you. That's the first time I hear someone from Europe say it's working for them.
