Change the channel width for a radio Use the following guidelines when you determine the channel width for a radio: • A wider channel generally improves the performance (no or minimal interference and better data rates). • A narrower channel generally results in lower throughput but might provide a more stable connection in a demanding situation, such as an environment with a long distance between the access point and WiFi clients and more than normal interference. • The 802.11n specification allows a 40 MHz-wide channel in addition to the legacy 20 MHz channel that is available with other WiFi modes.
