Model: Archer BE220  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.4

 

Is there a way to only set the channel width to 40 Mhz? The 5 Ghz band is unfortunately crowded already. No dice with DFS channels too as although they're vacant, I live relatively close to an airport and I've already had a few occasions of losing connectivity using those channels. This is on a BE220 (US) V1 on 1.0.4 firmware (the latest I assume?).

Hi,

 

TP-Link's Archer routers don't have any hidden or "secret" options. You've only got what you can see there.

 

Older Archer models (for example AX55 V1 and AXE75 V1) still offered the additional options "20 MHz" and "20/40 MHz" in that drop down list.

 

There is newer firmware available for the BE220 V1, but TP-Link's regional websites are not always up to date. However, I would be surprised if newer firmware offered the 40 MHz channel width option. I have a BE550 with the latest firmware and it also doesn't have it.
