• In normal mode, the access point provides a channel bandwidth of 20 MHz,
and supports the maximum number of channels permitted by local
regulations (e.g., 11 channels for the United States). In Turbo Mode, the
channel bandwidth is increased to 40 MHz to support the increased data
rate. However, this reduces the number of channels supported (e.g., 5
channels for the United States).
