    This extender supports 6ghz. I live in an older house and I am currently using three of these with my router. (have a lot of smart devices). I am using an ethernet for the backhaul so the EAX20 is in access mode.(using smart connect) I believe if you use Wi-fi for the backhaul it will use the 6ghz.
