I have no problem with the dedicated 5GHz backhaul radio operating on a 80MHz bandwidth, but I would REALLY like to be able to set the client facing 5GHz radio down to 40MHz if at all possible.  Can someone let me know if this is possible?

 

I really like my Orbi system but its really lacking in some of the more basic features (such as splitting SSIDs up per band and manually selecting client channel bandwidth)
