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...

CrimpOn that's odd, the WiFi 7 Orbis do not use 2.4 GHz in their MLO from what I have seen - I have an iPhone 16 Pro which will report using 5GHz+6GHz on the router and in device list page. Apple device sat least have no way to turn off MLO permanently; while there is a "WiFi 6E" setting that can be set to Automatic or Off, even if it's off MLO is preferred by the vice so it will turn it back on! I wish it could be disabled on the router - it has issues right now in the Orbi world, at least on the 970s (disconnects/flips to cellular when there is a strong WiFi signal nearby).
