Why doesn't an AP as expensive as this support 160MHz 5GHz channel width?  The EAP670s do...

I found something here, and the answer is no, it doesn't support 160MHz in 5G radio.

It should support 160M, check this out:

 

 

Why did you say it doesn't?

it has 160MHz on 6GHz, but not on the 5GHz radios

 

 

My 670s have 160MHz as an option on their 5GHz radio.

Thanks, but my question was more to why / what is the rationale behind having a premium WiFi6E AP that only has 80MHz 5GHz channels.  I know if I had looked closer I could have seen those details, but I also saw the initial 160MHz and (incorrectly) assumed it was the 5GHz and 6GHz radios, since the 670s already had 160MHz on 5GHz.
