Comment (by yurtesen):
I disagree completely. I can see the interference argument, but why? Other
brand APs do not do this. I just put 3 APs next to each other, two of them
were 802.1n 150Mbit and one 300Mbit. My windows machine got 150Mbit and
300Mbit(ehmm 2x 40Mhz!) connections to APs with original firmware. The
OpenWRT does 72Mbit only.
This makes the whole 40Mhz unusable for almost everybody unless you live
in an island alone or something. ;) If you have to do this, just remove
the 40Mhz option altogether, make the UI easier to understand. Why bother
with unusable options to begin with?
If you think there is a regulation for this. Please post the link to it. I
never heard about it before, in either case apparently other manufacturers
do not care about such things anyway.
Also this is a user experience problem more than a technical one. If a
user sees 150Mbit connection but it works poorly due to interference, user
would blame the interference. But if user sees a 70Mbit connection on a
150Mbit device, user would immediately think there is a fault in the
device to begin with. As a matter of fact, I thought it was fault of
OpenWrt simply because only OpenWrt had this problem.
Thanks!
