Can I select 80mhz channel for 5ghz on C7000

I currently have set the router with Optimum as my IPS. 

I was wondering if there is a possibility to be able to set up the 5Ghz channel to 155.

Currently I have it set to 161 which falls on 20Mhz. 

When I access the router's setting through netgear genie (using the default 192.168.0.1) and going to wireless settings for the 5Ghz channels the only availability on UNII-3 are channels on 20Mhz (149, 153, 157 and 161).

 

I'm trying to set it up the channel on a wider channel (80mhz which is available on channel 155) but on the drop down menu of channel selection, it does not appear there.

I'm not sure if you understand how it works. 

It channel overlaps. If you have it set to channel 161, it overlaps from channel 149-161. 

What sets your channel width is the "up to ****" speed. 

If you have it set on "up to 1300mbps" its using 80hz wide channels.
