Do you specifically need a r7800? Why not other AC wave 2 access points/routers?

Assuming you live in an apartment, WiFi even the 5ghz band is overcrowded. Setting your WiFi to 160mhz will almost be antisocial.

My understanding is r7800 can use dfs channels n so far I didn’t detect anyone using those channels so I’m not antisocial 😆
Anyway even if I use regular 80mhz both upper & lower channels also got many users so basically can’t b avoided so really no difference in terms of social acceptance. Also I’ll be placing the router in my room n limiting the power output just enough 4 my room so I can stream high bitrates video. I’ll still b using my current AP 4 the rest my hse n dun wan the router 2 interferes wif it too.
Btw how come can’t find any R7800 in shops? Actually very few Netgear routers around..

If I am not wrong most routers support DFS, clients not as much. Since you will put the router in the same room and i assume that WiFi card will be used in your pc why not use ethernet instead

Still seems like alot of trouble to get faster network speeds. For me if possible I just use ethernet. The wireless N card in my laptop can only reach 150Mbps. Unless I am uploading or downloading large files it's good enough.

Other routers that support 160Mhz are Linksys WRT3200ACM and Netgear X10 R9000;)

X10 too ex unless can get cheap 2nd hand. Linksys got compatibility issue according 2 the China website. Looking 4 2nd hand Netgear R7800 but seems like this router not available in sg... saw D-Link for-882 also 160mhz but not sure f/w got activated or not

Finally gotten netgear R7800 2 pair with the Intel 9260. Set up r7800 as AP wif 160mhz bw w/o any issue. Selected DFS channels but the channel won’t stick 2 DFS range coz it detected radar in my vicinity! But both laptop n iPhone can connect to AP while its briefly in the DFS channel. Was hopeful I can use these channels coz not expecting any radar near my hse! Did a quick speed test by file copying of a 1G+ file n gotten 100MBps dwn n 80+ MBps up but in best case scenario of laptop next 2 AP. Also test stream a high bitrate video file which I can now watch smoothly when previously wld stutter once in a while. Overall happy wif the performance except can’t use DFS.
Anyone knows which ceiling mounted AP tat support 160mhz bw?

What high bitrate video you watch that your previous WiFi can't stream smoothly? I can stream a 50Gb+ movie without any issues with 80mhz WiFi on a 1x1 AC laptop.

The unifi UAP AC HD should meet your requirements.

Sometimes the stream hits >100mbps n the video stutters but I do file copy exceeding >100mbps there’s no issue only watching video got issue.
I checked unifi UAP AC HD does support 160mhz leh.
It’s uhd hdr video btw, not sure if tat makes any difference.

100mbps could be reached even with wireless N. Best to drop ubiquiti an email. 160mhz support depends on software and the complains you see are probably from Americans thanks to their FCC being slow to approve.
