Quest 2&3 both got Nerfed Wifi Max link today - 2401mbps down to 1200mbps - on V65.

Hello Meta Support,

Today both my VR headsets halved the Wifi speed. No changes were made on my side (network,etc) its all the same hardware, configuration (SSID, etc) and topology. Yet somehow both headset's Wifi max link speed got capped to 1200Mbps and will not achieve the 2401mbps rate anymore. I happen to be get captures of the rate change while benchmarking a PCVR starwars game: 

Did meta push an update out for V65 in the AUS region that Disabled Channel Bonding? or that Capped the Maximum Link Speed to 1200Mbps? From the Wifi details in both headsets they both now will only show Max Link Speed of 1200.. I had enjoyed very reliable and stable 2.4gbps rates between my PC and Headset via 2.5gbps pc card wired to my asus AXE11000-GT, which now seems to be 50% throttled.. 

I am aware that Quest OS has ongoing challenges with the Wireless ecosystem, but I am disappointed that my high spec network rates have been nerfed (from what's likely caused by an OTA update on v65)

Since there's no way for me to check the radio configs under /system/etc/wifi  I am solely dependent on a fix from your side for this.

 To highlight, both Quest 3 and the Asus AXE11000-GT (10GBPS btw)  conform to the 802.11ax WIFI 6 standard

With the help of VR users in the Network channel of the Virtual Desktop discord, we determined this is not a change on the Quest OS software (such as wifi driver) but it was actually an issue where my 160hz band become unavailable across all my SSIDs. (possibly by DFS Radar). Since it was a channel issue, it was fixable through wifi reconfiguration on the asus routers!
