Current Software version: 7.2.4.5.2b8
A while back i was able to set either 160MHz or 80+80Mhz on my 5G band but i no longer see the option. I tried with DFS disabled/enabled and still do not see the option. Has there been an update removing that setting, i'm confused. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
Thank you for your question about setting the 160MHz channel bandwidth for 5G on your CODA-4680 device.

I don't see any mention on the Hitron model that Fizz uses, but I did find this reddit thread about another Hitron model, maybe the process is the same?
It might indeed not be supported by the Fizz router though.
I did notice while testing quickly that enabling DFS gives you more channel options than before, maybe setting one of the new options will enable it?
Thanks CJ, i came across that reddit post when i had played with the settings the first time. But unfortunately i do not see anymore channel bandwidth options after enabling DFS... strange.

Merci pour vos instructions, aussi generiques qu'elles soient. L'appareil avec lequel je voudrais beneficier du 160Mhz en est capable donc la n'est pas le probleme.
J'ai chate avec un agent du support technique de Fizz et elle m'a confirme que le 160Mhz channel bandwidth a ete enleve suite a une mise a jour. Mais elle ne m'a pas pu dire pourquoi et si cela sera de retour.
Merci quand meme pour votre aide.
