I dont know why the image wont show, tried .png and .jpg and got it under 500kb...
Strangely tho.
Ive just tested the speed on the PS4 in the same office upstairs next to my MAC using the 5G network my mac is slower on.
It used to test between 130/160Mbs and now its on 210Mbs so fast than my old R7000

Photos have to be approved by a moderator. right now only the first one is showing.
channel 44 is only showing as 20hz wide on your scanner. that'd reduce its link speed from "up to 4800mbps" down to 600mbps.
4800=160hz
2400=80hz
1200=40hz
600=20hz
And thats in a 4x4 configuration. most wireless devices are only 2x2 antenna devices. Meaning your link speed would only be around 300mbps.
Plus your higher band is set at "up to 2400mbps" which is only 80 hz wide.
You can set the higher band up.
Not sure why the lower band is only broadcasting at 20hz wide.
What firmware version are you on?
Try setting the lower band to "up to 2400mbps" to see if it'll change to 80hz wide.
