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 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but leaves fewer channels available
for use.
The 802.11ac specification allows an 80 MHz–wide channel in addition to the dynamic
20/40 MHz channel that is available with other modes.
Note If two or more access points are operating in the same area and on
the same channel, interference can occur. In such a situation, you
might want to decrease the output power for an access point. Make
sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio
frequency (RF) output power in your country.
