MR70 5GHz channel selection only 36 -124
My MR70 only allows me to select 5GHz channels 36 - 124. Also it will not allow me to select the BW. It always defaults to 120MHz or 8 channels. Then when there it see traffic on channels 52 - 64 ...
I returned the MR70 & MS70 for refund to Amazon.
You should take a good look at your firmware concerning the MR70 & MS70.
I have always looked to Netgear as having a quality product.
I am a IT professional that have done warehouse WiFi analysis and installations. I expect a certain amount of control over channel selection and channel BW selection. That ability was sorely lacking in the Nighthawk Router and Satellite.
I put back in place Orbi RBR20 & RBS20.
I chose to switch to the Ubiquity Unifi WiFi APs for upgrading to WiFi 6.

I am a IT professional that have done warehouse WiFi analysis and installations.---so you'd expect that you'd know what you were buying when you bought consumer gear and fairly base level gear at that. I expect a certain amount of control over channel selection and channel BW selection. That ability was sorely lacking in the Nighthawk Router and Satellite.----Because its base level consumer gear designed for people who don't know much about networking and so need a set and forget device.

I chose to switch to the Ubiquity Unifi WiFi APs for upgrading to WiFi 6.----An even smarter plan. Switching to business level equipment is where you should have started versus trying to use basic consumer gear
