Enable or disable 20/40 MHz coexistence
for the 2.4 GHz radio
20/40 coexistence allows a 20 MHz and 40 MHz channel width to be supported
simultaneously. By default, 20/40 MHz coexistence is enabled on the 2.4 GHz radio to
prevent interference between WiFi networks in your environment at the expense of
WiFi speed. If no other WiFi networks are present in your environment, you can disable
20/40 MHz coexistence to increase the WiFi speed on the 2.4 GHz radio to the maximum
supported speed for the WiFi mode.
20/40 MHz coexistence applies to the 2.4 GHz radio.
