How to verify Wifi 7 from Orbi RBE971
I have a Netgear Orbi RBE973SB (router + 2 satellites), but I'm wondering how exactly Wi-Fi 7 works. From what I understand, it should use the 6 GHz band, but in my router’s configuration I only see ...
What WiFi7 and MLO active looks like on my 970 RBR with Intel BE200 series cards install in two PCs:
Should we be seeing 7GHz here?
No.
Any WiFi7 or MLO will be indicated on the connecting device and shown on the RBR connected device web page. When 5+6Ghz is seen here, this indicates WiFi7 and MLO are active and being supported.
If you notice right here my Laptop says wifi 6, Which is a 6e device fine but my Phone Google pixel 9 says wifi 5 which is a wifi 7 device isn't that crazy
This picture shows a Shield TV Pro, that's a media player. Are you sure you are looking at the right setting?
I don't have a Google phone, you can see what my iPhone 16 looks like in the device report in the post above. The iPhone does have a setting to turn on/off WiFi 6 and up, so make sure your Google phone is configured correctly. It should say 5GHz+6Ghz as mine does, if it's running at WiFi 7.
I did not take the picture of the google phone connection it shows 5ghz and not 6, nor 5+6. What I was trying to show is that the Mac book shows not 5+6 but 6, which indicates the correct band the phone on the other hand shows 5ghz and its nothing we can do to switch thatThis is the phone its on the same satellite same room
