40MHz Width
1 TopicOrbi 2.4GHz Channel Width Stuck On 40Mhz
I have my Orbi Router set to only use 20MHz Width on the 2.4GHz band (channel 1). However, using WiFi Scanner, it shows my Orbi wireless connection is using a 40MHz Width. I would like to only use the 20MHz Width on the 2.4GHz band (to “play nice” with my neighbors, and minimize poor connections due to interference caused by congested, overlapping channels). Is their something wrong with the Orbi firmware that does not allow to only use the 20MHz Width on the 2.4MHz band, or is it something else that I’m not taking into account? FYI: I’ve had my Orbi system for months and this has been happening since the Orbi was first setup with an older firmware up through the current firmware.Solved
