Hey gang, I just bought an RB50 pair and have 2 questions. Can I adjust the bandwidth of the backhaul channel down to say, 20MHz? If they are .11ac radios, a higher MCS on a 20MHz channel migh...

Orbi adheres to DFS regulations. Orbi has a radar detection and avoidance capability.
When the Backhaul is operating on a DFS channel, it continuously monitors for the presence of radar signals appearing on that channel.
If a radar signal is detected, Orbi ceases transmission on the channel and moves to a new channel.

Orbi automatically adjusts the 5 GHz backhaul channel bandwidth depending on the quality of the radio environment. In my Orbi I frequently see that my backhaul link is operating with 20 or 40 MHz bandwidth, and this keeps changing.
