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
