240MHz Bandwidth
Came across under the web guie advanced wireless setting for "advance wireless settings (MLO Backhaul)" What are the benefits to enable 240MHz bandwidth mode? Is it safe to have this option...

Orbi 970 uses MLO to create a dedicated backhaul connection that utilizes both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands simultaneously, maximizing speed and reliability, effectively combining the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands for a faster and more robust wireless connection between the router and satellites. This "Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul" allows for high speeds and broad coverage throughout the home, leveraging both the range of 5 GHz and the speed of 6 GHz.
Enabling 240MHz bandwidth on the 5GHz and 6GHz bands can provide even faster speeds, but may be susceptible to DFS radar events, potentially causing bandwidth adjustments or channel changes.
