RS700 2.4ghz for 20hz channel width only?
I’m not seeing the option any where to do that? I don’t want it in 20hz/40hz mixed and just want 20hz for 2.4ghz band.
In the wireless settings, select speed up to 0.7 Gbps (for RS700 router) in the 2.4 Ghz band. This will lock the 2.4 Ghz band to 20 Mhz bandwidth. Not enabling the 20/40 Mhz coexistence with the maximum 1.4 Gbps speed in the 2.4 Ghz band will lock it to 40 mhz bandwidth.
You can reduce the 2.4 Ghz speed to set it to 20 Mhz bandwidth only.
Instructions on how to do this would be helpful. Everything I read about this WiFi setting (generically, not just in reference to Netgear) is that not enabling this setting means that the 2.4G WiFi remains fixed at 40Mhz bandwidth.
