I just upgraded to the latest stock Asus firmware, have a 2GB pipe to my cable modem via WAN aggregation, and now I can realize my full Internet bandwidth with 802.11ax. With my Comcast gigabit DOCSIS connection, I'm getting the fully provisioned 1.2Gbps to my WiFi 6 clients.
Currently, I have the 5 GHz network setup with "channel bandwidth" set to 160 MHz, "control channel" set to "36" and "extension channel" set to "auto" the only choice possible. Initially, last night, I set "control channel" set to "auto" and while I was getting the full 160 MHz. It mysteriously disappeared after a few hours and fellback to 80 MHz. Not sure if that was due to DFS issues and radar or something else.
I see the following events in the log, but nothing seems to indicate radar or DFS was a factor.

QUESTION:
Is the recommendation to stick with a static control channel (as I have it set now) and keep channel bandwidth on 160 MHz (not 20/40/80/160)? Or is it better to let the router manage an auto config with DFS?
