New RBR 370 router - WiFi 7 Setting?

So I know this will sound like a noob question but I honestly don't know the answer. 

 

This is a Wifi 7 router and I have  a phone that is wifi 7 capable. Currently, the phone shows the wifi symbol with 6 in the upper right corner. 

 

Is there a setting in the router page that I need to enable to broadcast in wifi 7?

 

Thanks,

Greg

    What brand and mode# is this phone? 

     

    No setting to change to Wifi 7 (BE mode) and MLO. Devices automatically connect to this mode if they support it. 

    MLO is 2.4 and 5Ghz on the 370 series.

      I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I've confirmed with Samsung it is WiFi 7 compatible. They said no settings on the phone need to be changed. 

       

      Here is a screenshot of my available networks. TC_Ridge is my home network and as you can see it shows wifi 7 in the upper right hand corner. But when I connect it changes to wifi 6. 

       

      Any thoughts on that?

     Has it shown the "7" WiFi symbol when connected to other systems?

      I haven't noticed that. But Samsung said my Galaxy S24 Ultra is wifi 7 compatible.
