Change the channel width for a radio
Use the following guidelines when you determine the channel width for a radio:
•
A wider channel improves the performance.
•
The 802.11n specification allows a 40 MHz–wide channel in addition to the legacy
20 MHz channel that is available with other modes.
•
The 802.11ac specification allows an 80 MHz–wide channel in addition to the 20
MHz and 40 MHz channels that are available with other modes.
•
The 40 MHz and 80 MHz channels enable higher data rates but leave fewer channels
available for use.
The channel width and guard interval determine the available MCS index and data
transmit rates.
