Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel bandwidth of the 2.4 GHz radio. Selecting a wider
channel such as 40 MHz maximises throughput and increase speed however is more prone to inter-
ference from overlapping channels. If there are issues try the 20 MHz, not as fast but travels further
and has fewer overlapping channels.

ered based on the scenario. If there is a lot of interference from wireless devices the output power
can lowered accordingly. (Default is set to 100).
