Considering it’s their premium/flagship router retailing at $600 - how come 160MHz channel bandwidth is not available for 5GHz Wi-Fi (unlike other routers from other brands)??? Is this something th...
Some newer routers, especially the high-end Wi-Fi 6 routers, are using 160MHz channels at 5GHz to achieve really impressive speeds. However, for many people and their wireless devices, this speed is not accessible.
- Hi. I’m in the US. In the web gui (advanced settings) under Wireless > 5GHz, it only shows 80 MHz wide from the selection. Don’t see 160MHz.
I have the latest firmware from a few days ago and have already performed a factory reset FWIW. ThanksNot sure where your seeing that. (screensnip or shot might help)
The section where you select speeds "up to ****" is what sets the channel width.
When its set at "up to 4800mbps" thats the 160hz wide channels.
- I will add a screenshot when I head home on log-on to the router interface.
