@Kevin_Z hi as you can see 6ghz is at 20mhz. I had read somewhere that 320 MHz is allowed per country and region, but 20 MHz is very low MHz in my opinion. I use Xiaomi 14 Ultra which does support WiFi 7 my region is Netherland

Hello @Kevin_Z,
I am back from my trip. I would like to report that it appears that guest network bandwidth controls are not working at all now.

@Kevin_Z I find it frustrating that 15% to 30% of client devices are missing from the client list.
This happens on 1.1,6 as well as 1.1.8 and is reflected in the web console and the iOS app.
Also, using the web console the number of clients in each grouping doesn't add up to the number in the All group when using EasyMesh nodes with different wireless radios compared to the main router.
For example, using my GE800 with two BE900 nodes there is no 5GHz-2 grouping in the web console list even though they are present in the All grouing list.
I don't know if a reset to factory defaults and re-configure will help but that's actually quite a bit of work so I'm reluctant to give it a try.

@Kevin_Z Following up one more time. I factory reset my router and the guest network bandwidth controls are working again! I must have had some sticky settings. I do appear to have a new issue though. My MLO is acting unstable and my devices are only connecting to one band (2.4ghz instead of 2.4ghz and 5ghz/6ghz) there appears to be MLO issues with this update.
I just disconnected and reconnected and now it is only using the 5Ghz band instead of both.
My wifi card is a TP-link Wifi 7 PCIE card and it was working before this latest beta release. Picture attached.

@Innocentone Thank you very much for your follow-up and feedback.
Except for the MLO Network, are the other 2.4G/5G/6G networks still stable in your network?
What devices connect to the MLO Network, and are they all experiencing unstable issues and connecting to only one band?
Can I have the model number of the TP-Link WiFi 7 PCIE adapter?

@raven-au Thanks for your feedback.
Does that mean those client devices are not showing up in the main GE800's client list when they are connecting to the satellite BE900?
How are the two BE900s connected to the GE800? Is it like below?
GE800 --- BE900 --- BE900? (--- stands for Ethernet cables/connections)

Could you please provide a screenshot to show me the exact issue? I want to ensure I understand it correctly. Does it mean there are 20 devices (for example) connected to the 5GHz-2, but they are not showing up in the 5GHz-2 network list?

@Pro-gamer, what software are you using to monitor the channel width?
Please check the actual link speed of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra directly, or try using another software.
