No, this only supports up to 80MHz. Netgear does not come out and say this but you can tell from the specs. WiFi 6 supports up to 1200 Mbps per stream but that is only on a 160MHz channel. When WiFi 6 is restricted to 80MHz, the max is up to 600mbps per stream. Since they only claim 2400 Mbps combined on the 4 stream 5 GHz backhaul and 1200 on the 2 stream 5GHz fronthaul, it must be on 80MHz.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most Wi-Fi 6 gear is limited to 80 MHz channels because 160 MHz is unreliable in real deployments: it depends on DFS channels, is easily disrupted by interference, and creates support and stability issues. So vendors design and spec products around what actually works.
