If you had selected 80MHz on the prior option, then you would see the above list of channels. If you selected Channel
122, which is an 80MHz-wide channel in the 5GHz part of the wireless spectrum, you would then see the filter applied in
the photo below.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIP
For efficiency and channel management, it is usually best to utilize 20MHz-wide channels for 802.11/b/g/n rout-
ers, and either 20MHz-wide or 40MHz-wide channels for 802.11ac routers. Very few commercially available
products (i.e., phones and tablets) are capable of taking advantage of bonded channels in either the 2.4GHz
spectrum or the 5GHz spectrum. If you encounter a bonded channel in the field, you should question why that
person has set up a bonded channel, particularly if it is on the 2.4GHz spectrum (i.e., on the 2.4 GHz spectrum,
bonded channels will interfere with any standard channels it happens to overlap with). If that end user is looking
for increased speeds but is not using specialized equipment that can take advantage of the bonded channel,
or the bonded channel is creating interference for neighboring WiFi networks, the next step would be to recom-
mend the person hardwire their equipment to the network rather than using WiFi.
