Cannot reach the 450 mbps with the EA4500

Question

Hi!
I have a new EA4500 router and I cannot configure it to reach the 450 mbps that is supposed to get.
I have it configured as follows:
Dual Band- 2,4 and 5 GHz
2,4 in 20MHz only - 5 GHz in 40 MHz only
2,4 Mixed - 5 Ghz only N
WPA2 personal in both
Channel - automatic (both)
I have checked that the 5 Ghz network can only use 4 channels: 36, 40, 44, 48. Where are the channels up to 100 (or more)??
Is there anything I am missing to get all the power of the router??
Thanks

The first thing that you need to consider is the router’s firmware, upgrade the router’s firmware if there’s a new update available. You also need to reset the router back to factory defaults just to refresh the router’s settings. You can also try to use other browser or better yet use another computer just to isolate the problem. If in case that there missing channels under the 40 MHz of the 5 GHz wireless network then you might need to consider returning that router and have it replaced.
