Hi. I recently purchased an iPhone 12 pro which supports wifi 6. I have set my 5 Ghz-1 to 160 Mhz with control channel to 36.

But my iPhone never connects to 160 Mhz bandwidth. It's either 80 Mhz or 20 Mhz. I am checking this in Wireless logs:

What could be the reason? How can I fix it?
 
I think iPhones don't support 160MHz bandwidth. At least the iPhone 11 didn't.
160MHz really isn't worth the hassle. It works only if you can access 8 contiguous channels, which requires using DFS channels.

Okay. Thanks. I do have DFS channels enabled. But the case surely would be that iPhones do not support 160 Mhz bandwidth.
