The G6 series is very old now. Probably due to the whitelist therefore you can't change or do much about its wifi adapter (hardware wise). Option

Hi, @zigman500 

 

It depends on what model g6 you have.

 

The g6-2200 & 2300's you can replace the internal wifi card with something better.

 

On any model g6 older than that, you can't.
