Orbi 970 - Wireless 6e, 7 menu question
I am in the US, and have the new Orbi 970 system. Using Orbi web interface, firmware V9.10.0.2_1.1.5, does anyone know how to "turn on" wifi 6e and/or wifi 7 on the mesh system? When I go into the ...
No Orbi systems supports disabling of any of the wifi radios. There designed ON 24/7.
I can appreciate that, but I still think that it's odd that is does say the word 6GHz anywhere in the menu period. While listing 2.4 GHZ and 5Ghz multiple times, why wouldn't they list 6GHz even just to say that its on?
I actually just got off the phone with Netgear and shared with them a screenshot and they agree that isn't right and will talk to a "sr tech" and get back to me, and when (if) they do I'll circle back to this to help the community.
So no 6Ghz channel selections seen under the Basic tab/Wireless menu?
Correct. Only 2.4. and 5 listed. very odd
- You’re not the only one to noticed. I was in the options and didn’t see anything on 6ghz as well. So I went online to search info on this. I’m upgrading from an Orbi 960 to the 970. The 960 had the option to turn on or off the 6ghz network. So I’m thinking this is a 970 bug or we both got defective devices.
