Deco BE85 6 Ghz issues
I am new here. I just got a two pack of BE85's two weeks ago. I updated the firmware to the latest. The only issue I have is after a reboot, 6 Ghz does not come up once in a while. So nothing will connect to 6Ghz and if I force something to 6 Ghz it will just disconnect. If I reboot the router again its fine. Its not everytime I reboot either, but when its not working rebooting it aways fixes it. I had it on daily 4am reboots and I notice hours afterwards my laptop was not connecting on 6 Ghz, even though the router is 10 feet away and its a Intel BE200 Wifi 7 card. My sons also would not connect and his is just Wifi 6e. For example today was the only day a week I picked now for reboot. When it rebooted, 6 Ghz was not showing, I told my sons computer in the App to only connect to 6 Ghz and it disconnected him. I had to reboot the router and then he could connect.
If I reboot it always comes but up right away, the first time. It seems like about 1 out of 4 reboots the 6 Ghz radio just is not working. Anyone else with the issue? Also I am not using wireless backhaul and ran a brand new cat 8 cable between them. Also both are doing it so I dont think its hardware. I load up an app the shows all frequencies broadcasting. When I checked, I saw my ssid broadcasting on 2.4 and 5Ghz. Nothing was broadcasting on 6 Ghz. After a reboot, it was broadcasting fine.
Also in the app there is no way to combine the 2.4,5 and 6 Ghz into 1 SSID. I read someone says just name it the same SSID for the 2.4\5 and the 6 Ghz. I do have MLO on for my one Wifi 7 laptop, the MLO is a different SSID. So I had one ssid for 2.4/5 and the same ssid name as that for 6ghz. Then a seperate name for the MLO.
Does everyone else recommend naming the SSID's the same? I am wondering if this caused my issue. I just disabled 6 Ghz except on MLO and we will see.
