Model: Deco XE75 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I currently have a Deco mesh that consists of three X68 units (one is the main) that the 2 satellite units connect via wifi, and also two X20 units as satellites that connect via ethernet back to the main unit. I am wanting to switch out one of the X20 units for an XE75 pro and use that unit to broadcast on WiFi-6E a 6ghz signal only for use by a VR headset in the same room as I do not want any other traffic etc interfering as it currently does with 5ghz. 

 

My question is, will I be able to activate the 6ghz from the satellite XE75 unit or will it only activate 6ghz if it is set as the main unit?

 

Thank you.

Update:

Deco XE75 needs to work as the main Deco to use the 6GHz WiFi band.

Thank you very much and Best regards.

  @David-TP I have just received my XE75-Pro (I updated to latest firmware) and set it up as a satellite unit, when ever I try to activate the 6ghz  channel it automatically reverts back to backhaul only. No matter what I do this continues to happen. The only way I have found is to have the XE75-Pro set as the main unit which unfortunately does not work for me as that then puts the unit to far from where I need it to be. 

 

Seems I will either have to buy another and then use 1 as a main unit and the 2nd unit where I need it or return it as it does not do what I need it to do which is broadcast a 6ghz signal whilst being a satellite unit.

 

If you have any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.
