Re: Channel Width/Channel: 20MHz or 40MHz
Yep, that should do it. On a 50meg connection it won't really affect you much, even if you connect with a single spatial stream N device (N150 device) which will only connect at 72meg on a 20Mhz bandwidth setting. The extra speed is great for lan transfers between your own home PCs, but you can switch to a 40Mhz channel for a big file transfer and then switch back again. Even better, ask VM why you didn't recieve your free 5Ghz compatible wifi dongle when you got 50meg installed. You should have got one included. If you got 50meg before the Shub came out then get a 5Ghz dongle from the shops (so long as your router is 5Ghz compatible). Then you can run in 300meg mode without annoying the neighbours.

Good point Andy and all 50 + customer get an adapter free regardless whether they have a SH or the VMNG300.

Yea, but the old adapter VM used to give out before the Shub was not 5Ghz compatible.

Re: Channel Width/Channel: 20MHz or 40MHz
Woah! Not good. As Thenry says, use inssider and pick a free channel, then manually set that channel in your router. Of course, if your neighbour is using 40Mhz mode you'll have to tackle him. Also, keep away from your cordless phones and other kit that uses 2.4Ghz wireless.
Now you are seeing the problem with having an overcrowded 2.4Ghz spectrum and the importance of being frugal with it.

Re: Channel Width/Channel: 20MHz or 40MHz
Actually, theoretically channel 13 should be fine. The 1-6-11 rule is US-centric. Theoretically. The problem is that channels above 11 are not allowed in the US so some kit doesn't work too well with them since, as we all know, the world ends at the US border. Many Broadcom devices fail to connect to channel 13 at all. So, we all end up facing annoying US restrictions anyway a lot of the time.
