No 6ghz band available after Upgrade
No 6ghz band available after Upgrade

Hi all,
I just upgraded from x50 to xe75 pro.
Used in access point mode.
I have added the new decos and removed to x50s.
To my horror no 6 ghz band is available in the app.
I have upgraded the firmware and reinstalled the app. Still no go.
When I click on a satellite deco it says connected over 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz_1.
Under WiFi settings and advanced when I click on band only 2.4 and 5 ghz bands are shown.
This made sense for the x50s but now I only have xe75 pros on the network.
Can anyone please advise.
This was purchased as an upgrade to get better WiFi backhaul between the units.
As it is, there is zero improvement as 6ghz is not coming in to play.
Br,
Robert Berry

So I heard nothing more from TP-LInk.
I now have the possibility of forgetting the network, starting from scratch and hoping that the 6ghz band appears.
If it doesn't then I've wasted a load of time to get back to where I was.
Plan B is order Asus XT9 and start from scratch.
I'd like sone advice.
Can TP get this 6ghz band to appear or am I sending it back?
Br, Rob

Don't worry about it.
I spent the last 24 hours figuring it out. It is not possible to simply add xe75 Pro to an existing x 50 network. You will never get the six gigahertz band to show. The only way to remedy this situation is to scrap the network remove all units from the existing wireless network. Then create exactly the same set up from scratch using the X e75 pros from the very beginning. It would have been very useful to know this before I wasted all of the time trying to preserve all of my existing network and it's clients only to find that the network that was originally set up under pins the features that are available going forward. So x e75 pros maybe backward compatible however you are restricted to the Technologies that the original wireless network was set up with in this case 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz bands only.
