Hi folks.
Something I've noticed with my Asus RT-AC87U running Merlin. The router gives me only 3 options for bandwidth on 5GHz;
20
40
80
Isn't there suppose to be a fourth option, 20/40/80?
Thanks!

But that's the question though isn't it. What is the difference between the two settings "80" and "20/40/80"?That's a max bandwidth setting - 80 supports 80/40/20, 40 support 40/20, 20 is 20MHz only...
Just a wild guess but is it something like... when the router powers up, "80" forces it to use 80MHz bandwidth even if some of those channels are in use, whereas "20/40/80" will let it fall-back to lower bandwidths?
Anyway, 80 MHz is backward compatible with 40 and 20, I never understood the point in listing a specific 20/40/80 setting.
