Channel Bandwidth

[EPR]

Should my channel bandwidth remain as default, 2.4g on 20/40 mhz and 5g on 20/40/80 mhz? I have 160 mhz off since I live just outside the outter marker of a major airport, so I'll most likely will never get that.

Should I set 2.4g to 20 mhz and 5g to 80 mhz? Whats the difference between locking it to these vs the default various freqs?

I suggest 20MHz for 2.4GHz but leave 5GHz at 20/40/80.

Ok, I'll set that and let it roll and watch. Can you expand on my last question any? Thank you!

There's not a short explanation of that. What it does is slightly different for each band. It's also affected by the current channel and whether there are any other nearby access points. I think myself and others have made some lengthy posts about this in the past. It's not as straight forward as one might think.

Ok, thank you for that. I have seen the 2.4g 20/40 setting change to 40 mhz before and seemed to not be as good in signal and speed as 20 mhz.
