How to verify Wifi 7 from Orbi RBE971
I have a Netgear Orbi RBE973SB (router + 2 satellites), but I'm wondering how exactly Wi-Fi 7 works. From what I understand, it should use the 6 GHz band, but in my router’s configuration I only see ...
What WiFi7 and MLO active looks like on my 970 RBR with Intel BE200 series cards install in two PCs:

Have you rebooted/or power cycled the router? I have had several device report problems clear up n a restart.
If that doesn't work, you may want to log a support case.
