depends what your wireless device/laptop can handle

No it doesn't, it depends whether you have neighbours or not. Using a 40Mhz channel in 2.4Ghz mode is like turning your stereo up to 11. Fine if you live on a farm, otherwise very bad form. Remember, the spectrum is not yours alone, we have to share.

40Mhz is only suitable for 5Ghz mode in built up areas, and any 5Ghz dongle will be able to support it. If my neighbour tried this kind of inconsiderate trick in 2.4Ghz mode for anything other than short one off tasks then you can be sure he would be getting a visit from me. Don't be a WiFi hooligan.

oh is it lol look http://www.speedtest.net/result/1703027454.png on a 40Mhz

Great for you, but unless that's in 5Ghz mode then your neighbours will have to cope with you gobbling up more than your fair share of the 2.4Ghz band. Not nice.

If I was your neighbour I would set up a directional block of the whole band and point it at your router. That'd swamp your lols for you. I can't stand WiFi thugs.

Yep, it would be fun to see the look on his face Thenry, but sadly many people won't realise why their devices are struggling. They may not be savvy enough to realise their neighbour is being a complete tool.

back to automatic

auto will match the devices capability, it could still run 40. manually set it to 20 if you want to play nicely.

it is going back to automatic on its own help :?

Re: Channel Width/Channel: 20MHz or 40MHz
 

what router is it? has it got the manufactures firmware on it or something else? how can it revert back to 40 if you've applied 20 ?
