I confirm the same issue. So for my new rs500, I cannot get 320. Best I can do for 6g is to set it to 'up to 2.9gbps' and it will get to 160. No other combo of channels/speeds works to get 320. My ASUS router has no problem doing 320 for 6ghz. How can I get this rs500 to work at 320?

Hi Router2371
Thank you for the additional details. To better understand the behavior you're seeing on the RS500, could you please let us know which 6 GHz channel the router is currently using when you're testing the “Up to 2.9Gbps” and “Up to 5.8Gbps” modes?
If the channel is set manually, please let us know the channel.
