"Tray Info" display incorrect Speed on Wi-Fi 6 network

I have recently noticed that the "Tray Info" display incorrect Speed on my Wi-Fi 6 network.
The network speed shown on "Tray Info" is different than WiFi status shown on Windows 10.

If I disable Wi-Fi 6 (802.11AX) on my rounter, the "Tray Info" display the same speed as system WiFi status
I have found this is related to one of the Wi-Fi 6 settings on my router: Wi-Fi Agile Multiband
Maybe it's releated to NetSetMan "Tray Info" refresh frequency?

Re: "Tray Info" display incorrect Speed on Wi-Fi 6 network

The displayed network speed might currently be incorrect for newer wifi protocols, because we're currently using a wifi component that hasn't been updated in a while. To solve all kinds of wifi problems, we have already prepared our own implementation for all wifi interfaces. This will be introduced in the next bigger update (no release date yet). This will most likely also solve your problem.

Is this only a display error or can it actually mess with the connections?

Everything shown in the TrayInfo is read and displayed only. In case the displayed connection speed is incorrect, it doesn't have any effect on the actual connection speed.
