Same at 2.5ghz. Same with 5ghz at width 20 or 80.

Settings conflict? https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=323674
There's an unlock script for more channels. Also, the upper/lower provide some more variety.
Be sure to scroll down and see the charts to take note of Non-DFS channels that are compatible with All 5ghz client-devices (and take note that channel 100ish can't be seen by some). Indeed, the [next] problem of a router having more channels, is replacing client-devices that don't.
There's also a chart of allowed power in DBM for the 80mhz channel groups, with some large differences depending on which channel you use. Also, the upper/lower thing is now obsolescent, as there is now a preset combination for full throughput (and the rest doesn't meet compatibility). For example (scroll up to the big photo, this same thread), channel 52 with the extensions lower? The menu is utter nonsense! You're going to need the android wifi analyzer app to find out what the settings actually do. There's no such thing as an even number of extensions for 52 and no such thing as lower for 52 because it is at the bottom of its block which does not go lower for extensions. See attached photo for the 5ghz spec.
