switching 5G wifi from 20MHz to 40 MHz

mihai_balaci — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 12:46:02 GMT

Hi all,

I have 2 APs at home. the primary one acting as mesh portal (ap250) is wired connected and broadcasts only 5G wifi and the second AP which is meshed (ap230) on the 5g interface (wifi1) and it's set on Backhaul Mesh Link and Client Access mode. (dual mode)

everything works well however I've noticed I am not able to connect to anything else then 20MHz.

I need more bandwith and I am trying to force the usage of 40MHz, however i don't know how. (from the CLI.)

any suggestions?

thank you

Hello Mihai,

Is this what you are looking for?

#radio profile <5GHz radio profile name> channel-width 40

setting both ap on 40MHz seems to kill the backhaul.

AP250 seems to work fine, but AP230 is not connecting anymore via backhaul.

Have you set a static channel on the backhaul radio? If not please test by using the same static channel on all mesh APs.
