• Channel Width: From the menu, select the channel width for the radio. Your
selection from the Wireless Mode menu determines if you can set the channel
width, and if so, which channel widths are available.
Use the following guidelines:
- A wider channel improves the performance (no or minimal interference and
better data rates).
- 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.
For more information, see Change the channel width for a radio on page 91.
• Guard Interval: From the menu, select the transmission power of the radio. You
can select 100%(Max), 50%, 25%, 12.5%, or 4%(Min). The default is 100%(Max).
