Is the 6GHz dedicated backhaul
Really dedicated? Seems like it uses all three bands when 6GHz can’t be reached. I the average household don’t have their satellite in range given the short distance of 6GHz, making it pointless for dedicated backhaul. Aren’t you better off sharing the band instead. When it uses one of the other 2 bands for backhaul?

As I state un my review: “One important aspect you should consider is that, by default, TP-Link Deco XE75 uses the 6 GHz band as a wireless backhaul reserved for exclusive communication between the stations that make up the system. ”
Yes, I agree it is not an optimal choice. The 6 GHz band is free from any WiFi congestion, but it also has a shorter range, meaning that this mesh system can cover areas that are slightly smaller than competing systems with a dedicated 5 GHz backhaul.

Unfortunately the 6GHz band is set up on it’s own SSID which means it creates a separate mesh from the 2.4GHz/5GHz bands which have the same SSID.

True. As I said in the review, the 6 GHz band is the backhaul.
