Reply To: ASUS ZenWiFi AX Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System Not sure if this is the right place to ask…. I am thinking of upgrading my Google Mesh wifi to the above. Has anyone used this and does it…

@dodgydrains But setting a manual channel of 120 & then 100 it did sustain a 160 bandwidth

I might try this

I have tried this and confirm the same. Setting control channel to Auto, it always connects at 80MHz regardless which channel it automatically connects at. Manually selecting control channel to 100 it connects at 160MHz.

 

Best practice was to always set channel selection to auto & let the router do it’s own thing,
That thinking doesn’t hold out on the 2.4GHz band these days,
but with the characteristic of 5GHz, auto mode would have been the sensible default option,

so stumbled upon this little quirk by accident.

 

Hopefully this opens up maximum bandwidth with fallback capabilities if needed,
Altho that’s down to the coding by Asus! so only time will tell.
