Thank you. I've been trying to do this for a while, but I couldn't do it until after watching this video.❤

I found this very easy to follow and it had immediate and significant results. For reference in case it's helpful for others, I have three Acs in a fairly long 4 bedroom house. One at the front, one in the middle and one at the end of the house. Before changing the channel width from 40 to 80, I was seeing just about 100mbps. Afterwards I was seeing speeds of around 500mbps on a 1gbps connection. Excellent

Hi thanks for sharing and thanks for watching the video!

Hi, thank you for your videos. I've watched your comparison video and got a bit scared of getting the Ubiquity. I'm getting it for my home use and it will be the only wifi extender. I am not sure whether the settings which you showed are accessible to everyone or whether you need a controler (I think I've heard you mentioned that in a previous video).

Hi, thanks for watching 🙂 You can change the channel width in standalone mode (without a controller) so don’t worry. Unifi is a good choice you’ve nothing to worry about!

curious as to scaleability. say I have 30 access points in a two story 30,000 square foot building would interference be higher if I set all access points to 80. would I get faster speeds if I lowered the channel width?

It depends on many factors. Distance between APs, construction of the building, other types of interference, power settings of the APs etc. The risk of interference is increased but you can potentially get better speeds, if you need the additional speed it maybe worth trying. It is simple enough to reverse if I doesn’t work for you.

Hi. Interested why you didn't show 160Mhz. Do the APs your working with not support 160Mhz channels?

Hi, we are sitting in the safe zone here, it is possible to use 160 with the U6 mesh but the chance of interference increases and from personal experience I have found 80 to more reliably improve performance. That being said each site will be different so using 160 will definitely be an option for some people. Trial and error is probably the best course of action.

Does this work for 2.4ghz channel as well?

@home.network.solutions 6 ай бұрын

There are less channels on 2.4ghz so the chance of interference is higher. I would suggest trial and error to see if it works for you as it will depend on the RF environment.

Why my ubiquity app can show 40 or 80 waduh channel.. Only 20

They are probably older models. Thanks for watching.

Sorry but what you say is only true if you have few clients. Generally, however, improvements are achieved by doing just the opposite, i.e. by decreasing the frequencies and decreasing interference between channels which leads to an increase in speed.

I respectfully disagree. I agree that using a wider channel width of 2.4 is normally not a good idea and 160Mhz on 5Ghz is much more likely to be problematic. However on a well planned deployment of APs there is generally very few occasions that we don’t see better performance from 80Mhz. However each deployment will differ as the environment will be different with different building materials and rf interference etc. I’m not sure what you mean by it’s only true if you have few clients, that seems to be unrelated to channel width and interference. Maybe I’m missing something?
