RT-AX88U WiFi Speeds

[avpman]

Running Merlin (latest) on an Asus RT-AX88U with an Intel WiFi-6 AX200 160mhz card. When I first installed Merlin on the router my Wi-Fi Status gave me a solid 2gbps transmission speed. All of a sudden I can't get more than 1.2Gbps. Have not changed the position of the router and/or laptop. No driver changes either. Rebooted everything.

Any ideas on how to get my speed back to 2Gbps would be appreciated.

on channels 132-161, this is the maximum speed for this adapter.

Thank you!
How was it that previously the status showed it was running at 2.0 Gbps? How can I get back to that speed?
Sorry for being a noob about WiFi-6.

use manual settings on channels 36-128 with 160Mhz

Thanks! I have it working at 2Gbps now on channel 36.
I have read about wiFi-6 quad stream. But I can't find anything about obtaining a Quad-Stream wifi card on Google. Any idea? I am pretty sure my router is quad stream. I have a tech call into Asus.

Thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated. Please stay safe.
