Hi,
I'm trying to get a 160Mhz AC connection between a Netgear XR500 (based on Ansuels repo) and a AX200 Intel Wifi card running under Linux (Fedora & iwlwifi driver).
But according to the OpenWrt stats the connection is still 80Mhz "only" (rx, tx stucks at 40Mhz channel width)
Station 9c:fc:e8:dd:5b:49 (on wlan0)
inactive time: 70 ms
rx bytes: 371572
rx packets: 2414
tx bytes: 3052622
tx packets: 3222
tx retries: 0
tx failed: 0
rx drop misc: 0
signal: -53 [-59, -56, -56, -58] dBm
signal avg: -52 [-59, -55, -56, -58] dBm
tx bitrate: 360.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 40MHz VHT-NSS 2
tx duration: 4551547 us
rx bitrate: 780.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 8 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
rx duration: 154876 us
airtime weight: 256
authorized: yes
authenticated: yes
associated: yes
preamble: long
WMM/WME: yes
MFP: yes
TDLS peer: no
DTIM period: 2
beacon interval:100
short slot time:yes
connected time: 100 seconds

According to the client, the connection is 160Mhz (at least for rx):
iw dev wlp3s0 link
SSID: XR500
freq: 5180
RX: 2933424 bytes (3200 packets)
TX: 318959 bytes (2091 packets)
signal: -42 dBm
rx bitrate: 1560.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 160MHz VHT-NSS 2
tx bitrate: 780.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 8 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
bss flags: short-slot-time
dtim period: 2
beacon int: 100
The iperf3 speed whatsoever is the same as a regular 80Mhz connection
My questions is: is the Intel AX200 capable of 160Mhz width channels with the linux iwlwifi driver?
BTW: the 160Mhz mode works with Windows 10 and the AX200 and the same XR500 router.
