hi , the 2.4 gig wifi world is saturated with users and so as to ensure that this doesnt continue to happen the wifi alliance set a rule that forces the 2.4 gig down to 20mhz in areas where the 2.4 gig is congested and to avoid further congestion , its also called neighbor friendly wifi

 

so if you disable this setting and force it to run at 40mhz you are just being rude to your neighbors and pretty much giving them the bird

 

so you can be nice and leave it enabled and everyone will get a bit of bandwidth without too much congestion or you can be a **bleep** and disable it and say screw you to your neighbors

 

thats your choice

 

your older 2.4 gig devices will work regardless of if its running at 20mhz or 40mhz

 

here is a link to help you understand why its there and what it does

There should be an faq section with explanations about the effects of various settings with the same level of clarity as the one above. Many settings are left up to the user to 'play with' and according to Darren many of them could solve problems some users are having. An explanation of the options on the debug page is also needed. Details about how the backhaul orks would also be helpful and help the users more intelligently troubleshoot their systems.
