Right, basically "Up to xxxGbps" is the place to set different bandwidth.
From the router's web GUI, go to Wireless page from the Basic tab, go to the 6GHz section (320MHz is only supported on the 6GHz),and then check the Mode setting under the Channel setting:
- "Up to 11.5Gbps" means 320MHz, "Up to 5.8Gbps" means 160MHz, which is also the max speeds for the 5GHz (since 5GHz doesn't support the 320MHz bandwidth).
- If you use the same SSID for all the 3 bands (2.4/5/6GHz), it will not be easy for you to tell if you are connected to the 6GHz. Disable the Smart Connect (on the same page) and set different SSID for the 6GHz band to make sure you are connected to the 6GHZ band.

Windows 11 and my WiFi adapter tell me when I am connected to 6 GHz.
All on one SSID. But that may be an artefact.
