MLO network ALWAYS connects @ 5 GH instead of 6GHz
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?
Can't help you here, like Windows 11, I suspect a specific Windows release (24H2) or higher is needed to support Wifi 7. Windows 10 doesn't support the 6Ghz SSID at all for instance (wife's PC).
iPhone 16 which I have DOES, and it does connect to the MLO SSID, but doesn't tell me much about it, as all I can do is speed test. Supposedly it seems to have WiFi 6E support but I found this on an Apple web page:
-------------
All iPhone 16 models support Wi-Fi 7 in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands and Multi-Link Operation (MLO).
-------------
This is what I see:
So, it appears it does but I can't actually see that MLO connects to 2 SSID's like I can in Windows....
Not a lot of info there, and not much more on the circled i but the password and some other non-connection settings and info.
You should check with Samsung to see if the S24 supports (not connects to) MLO?
I did Google that and found this AI synopsis:
=================
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO):
-
Wi-Fi 7 capabilitiesThe S24 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7, which includes a 320 MHz channel bandwidth that's double the size of the previous generation. This allows for multi-gigabit peak rates, which can improve streaming, downloads, and connectivity.
-
MLO compatibilityThe S24 Ultra is compatible with MLO, along with other devices like the Google Pixel 8 and laptops with Intel BE200 wireless adapters.
-
TestingThe S24 Ultra has been tested with other Wi-Fi 7 devices, including the Google Pixel 8 and OnePlus 11.
- Some models have the Exynos 2400 chip, while others use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
- The S24 and S24 Plus models with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset only work with Wi-Fi 6E.
=================
It does say above it was tested with Wifi 7 but no mention of MLO?
I should mention that before on W11 before the 24H2 update the Windows Connect on MLO only showed 6Ghz SSID... although the LAN worked fine.
