XE75 and Mac Mini M2 Pro - 6GHz
I am trying to use the 6GHz band with my M2 Pro Mac Mini.
I have my Decos connected via ethernet so have the 6 GHz setting on Wi-Fi Network and Backhaul. I cannot get the Mac Mini 2 to see the 6GHz wifi network, even though it is supposed to be supported.
Anyone else managed to do this? Is there some setting or trick to making it work?
@Rob0705 No such setting on my XE75, latest firmware. All I have is this, under Wifi settings. Can you post a screenshot? You have an XE75, right?
Here's the entirety of my Advanced menu.
Hi, did you purchase Deco XE75 in the local market?
You could refer to the following two pictures to check whether your Mac Mini M2 Pro supports 6GHz or not:
PS: Deco XE75 works on the U-NII-5 band(and its supported channels are already below 93) and will select the best channel automatically.
Here is what I think:
Usually, the WiFi 6E/7 Deco wouldn't be solid to 6GHz-restricted regions. Some users might purchase the general US or EU version abroad. If the current location hasn't decided whether 6 GHz should be adopted, Deco(with the embedded EU/US code) might still work on 6 GHz and other overseas 6 GHz products(such as the US version of the iPhone) might detect the 6 GHz. For the local-purchased devices, the internal region code is locked to KH and might not have opened 6GHz yet.
Thank you very much and best regards.
I bought my Mac and Deco both in Australia. The country code on the Mac as above, shows US.
It lists many 6GHz channels:
Also, my Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 (which also supports 6GHz) and was bought in Australia, also does not see the 6GHz wifi from the Deco.
Looks like the issue is with the Deco to me.
