I use 5MHz channels and like them. One thing I have worried about, but maybe hasn't been a problem: if someone else is scanning for regular WiFi channels, they won't see my 5MHz ones. So they might pick a channel that overlaps my gear. Generally my S/N ratio is high enough that I haven't notice

I'm not sure about all U-NII bands in the US, but in some countries one might exceed power spectral density limitations(dBm/MHz) using narrow channels. Rubens On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 5:33 PM, Robert West wrote: > I have an area that's developed some noise and after watching the spectrum > an

Interference. It's easier to get away and more power is focused on the smaller channel, but if anything does interfere it does way more damage. Compatibility. If you want to do another CPE or AP it may not work. On 5/9/10, Robert West wrote: > I have an area that's developed some noise and aft
