LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Bandwidth | Select whether the |
| 20MHz or 40MHz. |
| A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps |
| whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds |
| of up to 300 Mbps. |
| 40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio |
| channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 |
| MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the |
| environment hinders the wireless signal. |
| Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless |
| devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support |
| channel bonding. |
