It seems the M5 uses a wide 40MHz channel in 2.4Ghz mode instead of the recommended 20MHz. How can we change that?
Also would be nice if we could to change the wifi channels in advanced settings. Will this be added to a new FW soon?

2.4GHz channel width
Channel width controls how large of a "pipe" 'is available to transfer data. However, larger channels are more subject to interference and more likely to interfere with other devices. A 40MHz channel is sometimes called a wide channel, and a 20MHz channel is a narrow channel.
Set to: 20MHz
Use 20MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band. Using 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band can cause performance and reliability issues with your network, especially in the presence of other Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4GHz devices. A 40MHz channel might also cause interference and issues with other devices that use this band, such as Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, and neighboring Wi-Fi networks. Routers that don't support 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band do support 20MHz channels.

@TP-Link_Deco
I install and manage enterprise level mesh systems, some of which cover many square miles (Ubiquiti). The option to set/change bandwidth is available, as well as the option to modify the channel for individual AP's. For the average home user a 40Mhz bandwith is simply horrific in an area that may be already conjested. The ability to modify/change these options on the fly should be available as a matter of principle.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, give these options to the end user.

+1 being able to force a 20MHz channel width on the S4 would be great - we have a lot of Apple devices here and they would be happier on that when we're at the outer reaches of the 2.4GHz range.
Thank you.

Are there any news about this?
I have very low 2.4GHZ performance because of the 40MHZ
