WED not working on MT7986 but works on MT7915 of a tri-band router (tp-link xtr-8488) #1057

Hi, I noticed that WED only activates on one of the 5G radios of my tri-band router. Is this expected behaviour? If only one radio can have WED, how can I select the radio to have WED enabled? The MT7986's built-in radio is more capable than MT7915 for this router model. So I prefer WED enabled for it rather than MT7915. Please kindly advise.

Device:

TP-Link TL-XTR8488

Openwrt version:

OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc4 r32534-12374d88b9 / LuCI (HEAD detached at 81517f5) branch 26.029.67016~81517f5

Kernel version:

6.12.66

How i enabled WED

# added following line to /etc/modules.conf 
options mt7915e wed_enable=Y
