Scope: RouterOS 7, /interface/wifi. These are channel.band selectors from the current manual. The list describes the software vocabulary; each radio supports only a subset.
| channel.band | Frequency family | Standard family |
|---|---|---|
| 2ghz-g | 2.4 GHz | 802.11g |
| 2ghz-n | 2.4 GHz | 802.11n · Wi-Fi 4 |
| 2ghz-ax | 2.4 GHz | 802.11ax · Wi-Fi 6 |
| 2ghz-be | 2.4 GHz | 802.11be · Wi-Fi 7 |
| 5ghz-a | 5 GHz | 802.11a |
| 5ghz-an | 5 GHz | 802.11n family |
| 5ghz-ac | 5 GHz | 802.11ac · Wi-Fi 5 |
| 5ghz-ax | 5 GHz | 802.11ax · Wi-Fi 6 |
| 5ghz-be | 5 GHz | 802.11be · Wi-Fi 7 |
| 6ghz-ax | 6 GHz | 802.11ax · Wi-Fi 6E |
| 6ghz-be | 6 GHz | 802.11be · Wi-Fi 7 |
Check the package and radio
| Package | Menu and device family |
|---|---|
| wifi-qcom | /interface/wifi · Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6 / 6E |
| wifi-qcom-be | /interface/wifi · Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 |
| wifi-mediatek | /interface/wifi · supported MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 / 7 |
| wifi-qcom-ac | /interface/wifi · supported Qualcomm Wi-Fi 5 |
| wireless | /interface/wireless · legacy stack; separate syntax |
/interface/wifi/radio/print detail shows supported bands and country-dependent channel choices. Do not infer package support from “ac” in a model name alone.
Current width selectors

Only where radio, band and country permit. The manual also lists Ce/eC variants and 80+80. Uppercase C marks the control channel in Ce/eC notation.
Do not cross the stacks
Legacy examples such as band=5ghz-a/n/ac belong to /interface/wireless. They are not current wifi channel.band values.
Set the actual installation country. DFS and radio hardware can limit selection. A band selector does not guarantee a PHY rate, exclusive generation support by every peer, or a particular Internet speed.
