XR500 cannot enable HT160.
I have recently upgraded the WiFi card in one of my devices from an Intel AC3165 (433Mb) to an Intel AC9260 based on the fact that it supports MU-MIMO, 2x2 streams, and 1.7Gbps link rate. The XR500 a...
It’s effectively an R7800 internally so it supports HT160, I use it with 9260ac in my Inspiron 7577.

Additionally if it’s not working /allowing you to use HT160 it could be due to local regulations/region settings preventing its use.
- You will need to disable Smart Connect and you should then be able to enable HT160.
- Avtella, what channel should I be selecting? Is there region I can select that is known to work so I can see if it is functioning properly on a known good region?
Fraser, I already have smart connect unchecked. Do I need to also disable coexistence or another setting?- Okay very odd, no you shouldn't have to. I can enable it being in the UK. It may be your region as above, I don't think there is an option for you to change region as it would go against regulations. Best bet is probably to phone Netgears direct support line.
