CW9166 Dual 5Ghz Mode

CW916X FAQs 

The above link has the following: 
"the third radio of the CW9166 also has the advantage of being able to be configured either as a 6 GHz or 5 GHz radio"

Is that automatic when 6ghz isn't enabled, not supported in Meraki mode, or do I need to do something? I can't find further mention of it.

It's mentioned here https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Installation_Guides/CW9166_Installation_Guide#Third_Radio_and...

 

I agree it should also be mentioned in the RF profile doc and will let the doc team know we should update it.

It's not automatic. You have to set the preference for the 9166 and MR57

I can't remember exactly where it is but I'd suspect it'll be in the RF profile... that's where I'd put it.

Yes, that's it. It was defaulted to 5Ghz on this non greenfield setup.

It does indeed, ours all run two 5GHz radios and select separate non overlapping channels.  We didn't need to set anything as it does default to 2x5GHz radios.
