Hi,

I've just purchased a FWA515 5G router and out of the box, the router only shows 1 combined wifi network in the router settings. I wish to separate the 2.4ghz and 5 ghz network but it seems i need to switch off both MLO and Mesh settings in order to do this:

However i cannot find the 'mesh'setting anywhere ? I can see a MLO setting but no mesh setting. I've already created a ticket but unfortunately the support agent hasn't been very helpful. Thank you.

    Hi @psychopomp1,

    Welcome to Zyxel Community!

    The FWA515 does not support mesh networking. The message you are seeing regarding "MESH or MLO" is a generic notice.

    Thanks Zyxel_Tina. So even though MLO setting is off, why is the switch to separate the networks is still greyed out? How do I separate the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi networks?

    Hi @psychopomp1,

    To assist you more effectively with the investigation, could you please provide the current running configuration file of your device?

    The backup configuration file path: Maintenance > Backup/Restore and press Backup button

    Thank you for your cooperation:)
