/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

20mhz
20/40mhz
20/40/80mhz
20/40/80/160mhz
20/40/80/160/320mhz

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.
