There is provided mechanisms for assigning control plane connectivity for a wireless device in a dual connectivity supported communications network. The communications network comprises a first network node supporting a group of low frequency bands and a second network node supporting a group of high frequency bands. A method is performed by a control node. The method comprises acquiring an uplink load level for the group of low frequency bands. The method comprises acquiring a first pathloss level between the wireless device and the first network node and a second pathloss level between the wireless device and the second network node. The method comprises selecting, from the acquired uplink load level, the first pathloss level, and the second pathloss level, which one of the first network node and the second network node to provide control plane connectivity for the wireless device.
