R6220 - 5G max connection speed up 173mbps no 867 option availabe

Hi

 

I can't seem to get my router to show the options that allow the 5g interface to offer 867 Mbps connection it currently only allows up to 173mbps

 

When I go to wireless setting under the Wireless Network (5GHz a/n/ac) setting it only gives me the option to set the mode up to 173mbps and there is no other options available.

Everything I have read indicates that there should a number of different options including "up to 867 Mbps".

 

What setting am I missing to get the router to allow me to try and connect at 867 Mbps?

 

Note: The Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n) mode setting is setup to up 300 Mbps with Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence ticked yes

  • What region is your router set to?  Someone else had a similar issue and their region was set to something like Israel.  Perhaps there are region-specific limitations imposed by regulation.
