X6 R8000 Tri-band Setting both 5ghz channels to 36 & 44 but ch 2 wont go below 100 DFS
Hi Guys I am trying to get a better signal on my second 5ghz signal and the Netgear guys last night advised I use channels 36 40 44 or 48 as preffered channels for 5ghz. Weird things is on my router I...
in 80hz wide channels, the overlap is from channel 36-64. If you don't include dfs channels, theres only 2x 80hz wide spectrums available. Including dfs its 4-5 segments large enough to accomadate 80hz wide channels. when you start getting into 160hz wide channels, it gets even harder.
Plus you have to keep in mind the average user knows nothing about this. So how many complaints would people file because their performance dropped when they moved their channels to the "optimized" channels.
It stinks for the advanced user.
