    The SXK80 SSID is active on all radios, means the 2.4 GHz channel 11, the Channel 48(-36) at total 80 MHz bandwidth, and the channel 157 (80 MHz bandwidth, 157 plus 161, 158, 153), each of the 5 GHz combined 80 MHZ channel sets does allow up to 2.401 Gb/s PHY link speed on each. 

     

    Keep in mind operating any WiFi system to FCC regulatory area (Region North America) must be considered illegal in other regulatory areas.

    Hello shejialun,

     

    The 5GHz-2 is used for wireless backhaul and is not configurable thus the channel option is not displayed.

     


    Have a lovely day,

      I'm just trying to understand the 5G-2 show and hide rule, which, based on testing, seems to have something to do with whether or not the satellites are connected

        Initially, the wireless backhaul was always reserved on all Orbi. On the Orbi Pro Wi-Fi 6, the community suggested to keep it dynamic, resp. allow the backhaul radio available in pure wired backhaul environments.
