Mixing XE75 Pro and XE75/BE63, missing OFDMA/MU-MIMO settings
I recently added an XE75 satellite node to my already existing 2-node XE75 Pro mesh network, and it has caused the OFDMA/MU-MIMO settings to disappear. Likewise, if I unplug the power to the XE75 node the settings show up again.
Since I am using the XE75 node for wireless-only communication, I had thought it would act identical to the XE75 Pro nodes, as the only documented difference is the missing 2.5gbps port. Instead, something weird seems to be going on with the mixing of the two different device types.
Hi, As far as I can tell, I only see the following models mention the support of "OFDMA/MU-MIMO on/off" toggle on the Deco APP in the release note:
- Deco X50_V1.2_1.2.0_build 20231229 or later.
- Deco X90/X95_V1/V1.6_1.2.5 Build 20231116 or later
- Deco XE75/XE5300_V1/1.6_1.2.1 Build 20230331 or later
- Deco XE75 Pro_V1/1.6_1.2.1 Build 20230530 or later

The "OFDMA/MU-MIMO on/off" toggle requires the support of both the main Deco and satellite Deco units.
I want to emphasize that missing the "OFDMA/MU-MIMO on/off" toggle on the Deco APP doesn't mean Deco no longer supports OFDMA/MU-MIMO. They still do and these features are enabled by default on the supported models.
Deco XE75/XE75 Pro_V1 has advertised the support of OFDMA/MU-MIMO since the release of the products. The option of "OFDMA/MU-MIMO on/off" toggle on the Deco APP is not added till the 1.2.0 firmware version is released, and so does Deco X50_V1.2.
I hope it makes sense.
Thank you very much and best regards.
