TP-LINK AP500 only lists 20MHz channels...

Greetings.

I just got my new AP( AP500 ) and started to set it up but according to wikipedia it lists only 20MHz channels:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#5.C2.A0GHz_.28802.11a.2Fh.2Fj.2Fn.2Fac.29.5B17.5D

 

CH's listed:
36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161

 

All of them 20Mhz   .

 

Tried to set the AP to AC only and change the country to United States but i get the same list. AP settings:

Have someone any idea why i cant chose any of the wider CH's?

latest firmware ? have you tried also with another browser ?

[jagdtigger]

Yep, its the latest FW, it was the first thing i checked before i started setting it up. And yes i tried it with chrome, waterfox, and opera... Its throwing out the same list.

Are you using it in a bridge configuration kinda or as a router ? What channel radio are you using ? 

[jagdtigger]

It acts as an AP, it has no router capabilities.

 

"What channel radio are you using ?  "

I dont understand this question....

[Mountine]

You have to run on a specific channel radio for example 6. Maybe it is in advanced settings or maybe it get the best frequency possible for your environment.

Oh that, currently it is set to 48. The ch selection is no problem, its their type. All the channels listed in the Channel/Frequency dropdown list is only 20MHz wide despite the channel width set to 80 MHz(i played around with this too but no effect)...
