it is possible to combine 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz with the MOL Network ? currently i was only able to have 5 and 6 and have a separate network for 2.4 and 5 over smart connect
it would be handy to have one for all of them
Hi,
MLO is a Wi-Fi 7 feature and since the 2.4 GHz band of the Archer BE550 V1 does not support Wi-Fi 7 it can't be used with the MLO network.
Aside from the above, the Wi-Fi standard mandates that only the WPA3 and the Enhanced Open security standards may be used on the 6 GHz band.
If bands are combined into one network, then a common security standard is used for all of the bands. Since you can't use WPA or WPA2 on the 6 GHz band this means if you combine 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz you can only choose between WPA3 and Enhanced Open.
So, in case you have Wi-Fi devices that don't support WPA3, then you would still need to setup a second separate network for them.
