Description

Using 17.01. I've been using the 5GHz on the mt7612 for a mesh backhaul (802.11s) and noticed when I change channels and set the vht that the width does not change and is stuck at 80MHz, I have used the lower channels 36-48 and the upper 149-161. I have also set channel 165 that is suppose to be 20 MHz (Does not matter if I set it to 20/40 or 80 VHT in the /etc/config/wireless on any channels), when I capture on charts from our spectrum analyser it shows that both lower and upper channels appear to be stuck at 80 MHz width and when I use 165 it appears it is 40MHz and not 20MHz width. Has anyone else captured charts to verify that the channel width change accordingly.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mt7612 5 GHz mesh-backhaul setup from /etc/config/wireless across channels 36–48, 149–161, and 165, using the reported VHT settings. Compare the configured width with spectrum-analyzer captures; done means the observed width matches the selected channel and configuration.
