Details - This problem was reported by few Netgear R8000 users and I managed to reproduce it. It's related to the following code:
vht_cap=$(iw phy "$dev" info | grep -c 'VHT Capabilities')
cap_5ghz=$(iw phy "$dev" info | grep -c "Band 2")
[ "$vht_cap" -gt 0 -a "$cap_5ghz" -gt 0 ] && {
mode_band="a";
channel="36"
htmode="VHT80"
}
===========Default htmode===========
The first problem is that even if hardware supports VHT80 it may be not available for every/any current channel. If channel 36 doesn't support VHT80, for better user experience, it shouldn't be set in /etc/config/wireless by default. Example:root at lede:/# iw phy phy2 info
