160Mhz for Mesh?
I know the Orbi 6 AX6000 doesn’t support 160mhz currently. Could it ever (is this a hardware limitation or firmware)? I ask because I have gigabit internet and see some routers do 160Mhz and get to...

Still not getting how their math on advertising adds up. Each of the 5ghz bands are allegedly capable of 2400mbps so if what you’re saying is it can only do 80Mhz 2x2 that doesn’t add up. Either it should be able to do 4x4 at 80Mhz or 2x2 at 160mhz in order for them to advertise 2400mbps per 5ghz band.
How is that 2400mbps calculated if what you’re saying is theoretical max or 1200mbps?
Is that shady advertising of 1200 up + 1200 down? When I connect to the Orbi on a new dell yoga laptop with a 2x2 mimo AX card it says linkrate of 1200mbps in the Orbi app. Am I correct in assuming the AX6000 can’t achieve a download theoretical max of greater than 1200 mbps?
