 ===== 2.4GHz =====

 In the busy 2.4GHz range, **using wider channels will often result in more interference** and may not gain any throughput performance improvements.  **Check your environment** before implementing wider channels.
+When setting up multiple access points (APs), assign each AP to a different channel and separate them as much as possible.

+Newer 5GHz WiFi is faster, can transfer far more data in shorter amounts of time, has more available channels and will likely have less interference compared to 2.4GHz WiFi.
+There are 23 non-overlapping channels in the 5GHz band.
+As with 2.4GHz, choose your channel and channel width based on the existing WiFi environment to avoid interference.
