Question to Satellite Connection Type RBR/RBS760

Hi everyone.

I'm new here and have a simple question. I've bought a Wifi 6 Mesh System with the RBR760 (Router) and RBS760 (Satellite). Everything works fine but recently I've noticed that in my Orbi App under Details from the RBS760 the connection type shows 5 GHz.

Shouldn't it showing 6 GHz? Cause it's a Wifi 6 Mesh System.

Thanks for you input.

No. Wifi 6 is 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Wifi 6E is 2.4ghz, 5ghz, 6ghz. 

The system you have is a wifi 6 and doesn't have 6ghz.

I wouldn't. there are not many devices that support 6ghz connections so far. And the investment from a 2.4/5ghz router to a 2.4/5/6ghz device is a significant increase. For the most part, its not that beneficial unless you're literally buying the "latest/greatest" in phones, tablets, computers and need the absolute fastest in speeds. Most people really don't as streaming 4k only takes 25-40mbps. Its more of a bragging point currently for most.

Yeah I get your point but it's just that I bought a Wifi 6 System to get the 6 GHz Band. Didn't know the 6 GHz Band was only designed with the 6E standard. Now I know better. Anyway, thanks for your quick clarification 👍🏼
