How to force backhaul to 5GHz ?
How to force backhaul to 5GHz ?
Hi there,
I have an Archer AX55 as well as two RE605x extenders.
Right now it seems like my two extenders are using 2.4GHz for the backhaul (which, to be extra clear, is a wireless backhaul), which means most of my house is going much slower than both what the AX55 and the extenders can deliver. Any way to fix this without entirely disabling 2.4 or segregating the two bands? I do have quite a few devices that only operate in 2.4.
(I can see that the backhaul is 2.4 both from the Tether app, by going to the extender device and seeing it's connected at 2.4, and by the fact that everything connected to the extenders is much slower than when connected directly to the AX55, even when standing next to it and checking that the test device is indeed connected to the extender).
Thanks!

In my Tether app, the extenders are shown connected to both networks. The UI of the extenders also shows the connections on both bands and their speed. In the past, I have seen only one band connected when the 5Ghz signal was weak and relocating the extender in question solved the problem.

@jra11500 are you sure? There's a bit in the UI that shows the bands that extender serves and yes, my extenders serve both bands - but their back haul is only 2.4. What does the bit on my screenshot look like on your end?
thank you!

@jra11500 Exact Same as mine (the latest iphone version).
First select your main router. The Archer AX55 in my case. You get this:
Then you click on one of your extenders: I clicked on "RE605x en...". You get this:
And that second line "Connecté à:" shows you what in the mesh it is connecting at, and on what band. In my case, it is connecting to the other RE605x via 2.4GHz.

There's probably a difference in the AX55 FW versions. You're with the latest one - Firmware Version: 1.3.2 Build 20240325 rel.56896(4341) which comes only through a cloud update at the moment.
