MK73 How do I set 5 GHz band to 80MHz wide channels?
I'm trying to set my MK73 to use 80 MHz channels but there is no option anywhere? The trouble I'm having is in Canada we only have one 160 MHz allocation [36 - 64] however [52-64] is DFS. My MK73 cat...
Unfortuneatly you can't on this model MK. Channel width is all handled by the system. Based on channel and what connecting devices are design and have support for, between the system and device and signal quality, the channel width will be set.
The higher channels are not user selectable on this model system. Possible maybe due to wireless backhaul use by the system an the MS satellites. So 36 thru 48 would be recommended. I use channel 40 here.
Ok, that's fine. Is there a way to select 1200 Mbps / 80 MHz channels then? As it stands I can only use the lower 160 MHz channel until a DFS event and it auto switches to 161.
