6GHz dedicated backhaul
Hi,
Are anty of these statements true?
There's no point in using the 6GHz as the dedicated backhaul unless:
- You have no 6GHz clients, and
- You can place the hardware units at a relatively short distance from each other within a line of sight.x
-
The TP-Link Deco XE75 uses the 6GHz band as "dedicated backhaul," which means it doesn't make this band available to clients (normal state). However, it relies on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band for backhaul when the 6GHz is out of range (and certaily is out of range with a wall between units, hence never uses 6GHz) therefore there no need for dedicated backhaul.
-
Using the 6GHz as the dedicated backhaul is only beneficial if you have no 6GHz clients and can position the satellite units relatively close to each other and in a direct line of sight.
How can I see which band is being used for backhaul? Are there any tools recomenned for this? I'm thinking I could use these tools to ensure I at least stay on 5GHz.
Regards,
