As far as I know if the tech is similar to LTE, OFDMA will subdivide a channel into sub-channels so should work with any channel configuration. My 2 cents, correct me if I'm wrong.
Main advantage is of AX is mainly efficiency and standardized 1024QAM support which means Gigabit WiFi is more possible now. Imagine peak link speed of 1200Mbps even on entry level AX device.
Ya, that's what it should be. OFDMA makes transmission over the same channel by multiple subcarriers & greatly increase the efficiency.
One thing not sure is whether this router supports independent channel subcarriers division.
1024 QAM has become mandatory in 802.11ax with the introduction of 2 additional MCSs with 3/4 (75%) & 5/6 (83.3%) coding rate & lowers EVM makes data transfer highly efficient, but that will require corresponding higher SNRs.
Thereotically, if implemented indoor with high SNR, using 5/6 coding rate on 160MHz or 80+80MHz, MCS11 on 8 spatial streams, a theory speed of 9.6Gbps can be achieved, practically I think 3Gbps is more likely achievable.
