• ExtensionChannel– If Channel Bandwidth is set to 20/40MHz or 40MHz, the Extension Channel gives the option
of extending the 20MHz channel to an upper or lower channel to achieve 40MHz bandwidth. Use the AN100/300 Site
Survey, (Advanced Settings/Site Survey) to analyze the wireless neighborhood and select upper or lower depending
