Channels 100-140 are NOT present!

XT8 has two 5ghz radios… one uses 36-64 channels, second uses 100-140 channels.
The only 5Ghz radio available for backhaul is the second

ET8 has ONLY ONE 5ghz radio. I thought that asus leaved the first (as the second was removed in favour of the 6Ghz radio) so only 36-64 channels, but from your text is clear that asus “splitted” it to cover more range: from 36 to 48 and from 149 to 165…

This will not change the fact that the ET8 doesn’t use 100-140 channels… and so the 5ghz backhaul with XT8 is simply impossibile… only 2.4Ghz is allowed
