RAX70 5G-2 SSID problem
Hi, I have noticed that in the wifi setup on the RAX70 with regards to the 5G-2 SSID. When I select the Mode 'Up to 4803 Mbps', it takes ages for the SSID to show up and you can't connect to ...

The RAX70 only works at 80MHZ, se picture. when i set full speed the 5G-2 (160MHZ) wont be found in the Wifiinfowiuv application or on my devices. No airport or radar nearby. My old R7800 worked on 160HZ whit DFS channels.
Edit:
I almost get the same wifi speed as i get wired from my ISP (1Gbps download and 700Mbps upload) so its faster than the r7800 router.
The only way to set 160MHZ is to set the fastest speed but it doesnt work after that.

Att full speed the router has crashed/freezed 2 times, hard reboot was the only solution. thanx for helping me to run the router in full speed.

Your 3467mbps link its showing in the picture means its not in 80hz. If it was only 80hz wide, its max speed is 2400mbps. So it makes me think its the program you're using or how its displaying it.

Yes i agree, earlier tody i sent an email to nirsoft.net about the issue, in the app non 160MHZ routers i shown,
I read that some routers specify 80Mhz x2 and sell it as 160MHZ routers, dont realy know how that works? and havent got
the time to realy google it. I work as an IT-architect in Windows envoirement so i have some knowledge about networking and
TCPIP.
