Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.2

 

Hi,

 

I was surprised to learn the last week that using a single Deco M9 Plus lets you connect devices to both 5ghz-1 and 5ghz-2-band. I'm using the Deco in access point mode. 

 

I thought the 5ghz-2-band was only for use as a dedicated backhaul-band between nodes and never meant to be available to clients, but I'm connected to the 5ghz-2-band with my laptop as I'm writing this.  

 

Is this intended behavior or something new in later firmwares? And is this a feature found in other tri-band Deco routers? I haven't seen this mentioned as a feature anywhere in the documentation but really pleased that the Deco works like this.
