      Thanks for your response,

       

       

      we tried to configure through webGUI and APP ,however we are unable to configure the 6GHz(bandwidth/SSID/Password/channel/BE/AX/mode)

      even we upgrade to latest FW, 9.12.5.3 still we did not see any changes.

      along with 6GHz, we would like to change the bandwidth for 2.4GHz and 5GHz as well, but we are unable to find the options

        additionally, we would like to know, is it possible to configure Satellites as a router?

  • There's nothing to configure on the 6ghz. Mine doesn't have anything either. 6ghz doesn't broadcast as far and has many more channels so there's less interference or reasons to change the channels/configuration. 

  • There’s typically nothing that needs to be configured on the 6GHz bandmine is the same way. By design, 6GHz offers a much wider range of channels and experiences far less interference compared to 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Because of this, there’s rarely a need to manually adjust channels or tweak settings. The trade-off is that 6GHz doesn’t broadcast as far, which is why it’s best suited for short-range, high-speed connections in low-interference environments. If everything’s working smoothly, it’s usually best to let your router or access point manage the band automatically.
