80 MHz width is on by default regardless which channel you use. If you want to force 160 MHz width, you need to use a DFS channel, usually between 52 and 140. As I mentioned, your wifi device needs to support 160 MHz width too or else it won't work

For the 2.4 GHz band you can enable 40 MHz width by going to Advanced -> Setup -> Wireless Setup and uncheck the "Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence" box. This will force it to use 40 MHz width. This is generally not recommended if you have many other networks that operate at 20 MHz in your area
For the 5 GHz band, you can force 160 MHz width by going to Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> Wireless Setup

Yes i have tried both of them by checking as sell as unchecking .. it's only getting 20Mhz have enabled HT160 as well but no solution

The 2.4 GHz band does not support 80 MHz, only the 5 GHz does. For 160 MHz on the 5 GHz band, you need to have a compatible adapter. After enabling or disabling, you need to reconnect your device(s). I just tested here on my Android phone, and 40 MHz width works with no issues on the 2.4 GHz band

Can you install WiFi Analyzer (open-source) and a device a report back what the app reports for the router's SSID's being broadcast?
