From 1f86725f48a1bcc9ce6d6120dc69def08acebef9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandru Avadanii Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2021 10:20:43 +0200 Subject: Wireless AP: 802.11g/n: 20MHz instead of 40MHz Note that 802.11g/n might use 20MHz channels instead of the expected 40MHz when overlapping BSSes are found in the neighbourhood. Although we could force our AP to use 40MHz, we won't, as that might break the law (depending on the law applicable on the customer's premises).
