How to set WPS to 5GHz?

Hi

 

I have a dual band wifi extender (TP-Link RE450) that I'm stuggling to connect to the 5GHz wifi on my EE router. I have separated the 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the router. I can connect the extender to 2.4GHz OK, but I can't find a way to set WPS on the router to 5GHz so I can connect that also.

 

I read online about switching WPS off, then switching it on for 5GHz, but I can't see a way to switch WPS on for 5GHz, on my router.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

That just shows 5GHz turned off. Go to advanced settings and turn it on.2021-08-09 19_54_20-Re_ How to set WPS to 5GHz_ - The EE Community — Mozilla Firefox.png

There's no option to turn it on in advanced settings, that's the problem.

 

Anyway, I've managed to get it working, now. Here's how:

- Connected to 2.4GHz using WPS

- Turned off 2.4GHz wifi in the router settings

- This allows 5GHz WPS to be enabled

- Connected to 5GHz using WPS

- Switched 2.4GHz back on in router settings

 

Cheers
