Not sure if I want WiFI 6 for backhaul only or not.

Model: Deco XE75 Pro

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.9

Hi,

I do not understand whether I should use WiFi 6 for backhaul only or let WiFi 6 capable devices use it also. I have quite a few on my network. Also, even if I set WiFI 6 for backhaul only the little indicator on Android for wifi has a 6 on it. How come? Finally, when I enable WiFI 6 for devices also a new WiFI 6 network with another SSID is created. Why is that?

Some advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, WiFi 6 is not the same as a 6GHz wireless signal.

WiFi 6 only has 2.4GHz and 6GHz. WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 support 6Ghz.

So If there hasn't been any 6GHz compatible device, it is suggested to set 6GHz for Backhaul only.

Thank you very much and best regards.

I believe you meant to say Wifi 6 is using 2.4 and 5ghz only.
