Setting OrbiPro Router : Disabling 2.4Hz, channel 140, bandwith 20Mhz
Hi,
We bought Orbi Pro as we need a reliable wifi router for an upcoming event with 90+ talets connected trough wifi on the same network.
Our client requires that we generate our own wifi network...

1. Channels 140 and higher are used by the Orbi's wireless back haul and thus not available for other uses.
2. 20Mhz channel width is slow for 5Ghz performances. 40Mhz and up is what 5Ghz supports thus router Mfrs may not offer 20Mhz options on 5Ghz. Mostly seen on 2.4Ghz.
