MLO network ALWAYS connects @ 5 GH instead of 6GHz

Sunday

Model: Deco BE85

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version: 1.1.1 202401023 34667

Using MLO as default network on my network connection. ALWAYS uses 5 GH band instead of 6 GHz.

Is there a way to force 6 GHz? Otherwise, why did I buy a wifi 7 router?

@PathVet

Do you mean your device connects to the MLO SSID, but uses a single band, 5GHz?

Why do you believe the device should use the 6GHz band?

What is that device?

Are you running Windows 11 24H2? That HAS support of WiFi 7....

Before I was 'offered' that and installed it, I saw what you do.

After 24H2 installed, I see this in the Network and Internet settings:

MLO network ALWAYS connects @ 5 GH instead of 6GHz

MLO network ALWAYS connects @ 5 GH instead of 6GHz
