Hi there,
Looking for a little help on this newly purchased BQ16, I don't currently have any WiFi 7 client devices as yet however I do have an S23 Ultra which has 6E support.
Is there any purpose to enabling MLO as yet and combining all bands as when I have tried it I am not having any issues other than when going slightly further a field the router keeps switching my phone to the 2.4ghz band where my internet access is much slower and I never had any issues with decent signal and good speeds on the 5ghz band on my previous router, It seems from what I can gather when enabling MLO globally there is no way to to disable 2.4ghz as it selects all 3 bands automatically without me being able to leave 2.4ghz out on a single SSID.
Also if I don't have the IOT/Guest network enabled I cannot connect my childs Amazon kids fire HD tablet to the network it just will not connect even though it sees the network and I did try using WPA2/WPA3-Personal to ensure some sort of compatibility for the 5ghz band but it refuse to connect unless I create a separate IOT network which I am trying to avoid because I have noticed the signal is worse when creating an IOT/Guest network compared to anything connected to the main network, I have no idea why it's doing this but the signal in my experience seems to worse on IOT for some bizarre reason in my testing.
And the last question what is the difference between "WiFi 7 Mode" Setting in the Main network general section and then MLO mode in the same Main network but advanced section, I thought these 2 meant the same thing but they seem to be independent of each and can each be toggled off or on?
Thanks in advance.
