A 80 MHz "channel" spans from 58 to 64. So it's the same thing - the router uses that whole chunk of band to communicate. Whether it's reported as connecting to 58 or to 64 simply depends on how a client chooses to report it.
That's why Broadcom talks about chanspecs now instead of actual "primary + extension" channels like you might be used with the old 2.4 GHz band. They will report the "base" channel, and its width, which can go upward or downward from that base channel.
Earlier I used stock firmware with unlocked channels. I got Moto X which work on the 149 channel on the 5GHz only. This phone can't see any other channels, that specific to my current region. So I set up the 149 channel and all devices communicate only with this channel. No any spans with 154, 137 or any other channel. Why is that?
