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...

Orib uses 80 MHz channels on 5 GHz by default. No setting to change this.
You might be able to set separate SSIDs by following this thread. Don't know if it works for the Orbi Pro.
Channel 140 is a DFS channel, on a frequency shared by radar. Access Points must monitor for radar and use another channel if radar is detected. This can cause service disruption. None of the NETGEAR routers I own support using DFS channels. Also, some client devices don't support DFS channels.
You are probably better off with a different router. Also, the channel selection might not be a good choice.
The Unifi access points from Ubiquiti support your requirements. They require a separate router and a host to run the WiFi controller software (at least at setup time).

Thank you for your useful answers.
I informed my client and i hope they will be ok for the orbi pro specs.
