how to set Mesh EAX80 to 160MHZ and 4.2Gbps?

now i use EAX80 mesh with my old route R6250 with 5G channel 44 and 2.4G channel auto(11), then i find EAX80 show, the max traffic is 2.4gbps for 5G with channel 36,40,44,48 and 300mbps for 2.4G.

 

does my any set wrong? should it be support 4.8Gbps for 5G and 1.2Gbps for 2.4G?

 

does it mean i only set 80MHZ for 5g not 160MHZ for 5G?

 

how to set the 160MHZ BW?

    the R6250 isn't an AX device and doesn't support 160hz channel width. The EAX80 is running off it if you're running in extender mode. 

     

    If you want to test  the eax80 fully functional, hardwire it into the R6250 and then set it in AP mode. This lets it use the ethernet connection as the backhaul and you can change the wireless to whatever you want in the EAX80
