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...
That’s a good question! Enabling 240 MHz bandwidth can, in theory, allow for higher data throughput since it combines more spectrum for faster speeds. However, the trade-off is that it may be more prone to interference and reduced range, depending on your environment and nearby WiFi networks.
If your Orbi 970 is already performing flawlessly, you might not notice a big improvement unless you have devices that specifically support and can take advantage of 240 MHz. It’s generally safe to test it, but keep an eye out for any stability or connectivity issues. If things get less stable, you can always switch back.
ayla74108 I am confused - the OP was discussing 240 MHz backhaul, you say that devices have to specifically support it.That's not relevant in this case, discussing backhaul banding and speeds, is it? I thought the 240MHz (MLO) backhaul capability was for reducing lag between Orbis, and indirect ocntributor to end-dev ice speed.
