Model: Archer AX50

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20200109 rel.36848(5553)

Connected Devices:

1. Laptop with Intel 9560 WLAN adapter

- supporting up to 160MHz 2x2 802.11ac (Maximum Link Speed: 1.73Gbps)

2. Samsung Galaxy S10e

- supporting up to 80MHz 2x2 802.11ax (Maximum Link Speed: 1.2Gbps)

On the laptop, its link speed to the router is 866.7Mbps, which is theoretical speed of 802.11ac 80MHz 2x2.

I enabled MU-MIMO, Airtime Fairness, High Transmission Power and WPA2(AES). Also I set the channel to Auto.

Desptie setting 160MHz, the link speed is always limited to 866.7Mbps.

On the smartphone, it can connect to the router with link speed of 1.2Gbps, which is expected.

I wasn't able to determine whether its support on 160MHz is limited to 802.11ax only or not, since I don't have 160MHz AX receiver.

@minmossi Solved.

For those who are suffering from the same issue, please set the 5GHz channel to Channel 120(DFS).
