Why can’t I see the 6 GHz WiFi network on my NWA50BE?

The NWA50BE does support WiFi 7 (802.11be), but it is important to note that it is designed as a dual-band access point operating on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only.

The NWA50BE is positioned as an entry-level WiFi 7 model, delivering key WiFi 7 improvements—such as higher modulation (4K QAM), better efficiency, and overall faster performance—on the existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This makes it a cost-effective option for environments that do not require 6 GHz.

Note: If your deployment requires Tri-band WiFi 7 (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz + 6 GHz) or you specifically want to use the 6 GHz spectrum, we recommend choosing a model that supports it, such as the NWA130BE, WBE530, WBE660S … etc.
