I know you like getting a fast internet connection. Who doesn’t? That is why we need to know which is the best WiFi channel for 5GHz between 20, 40, or 80 MHz. You also do not want dropped connections for your devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best channel for 5GHz depends on the channel width where we recommend using either 40MHz or 80MHz for the best internet speed and minimal interference. For users on the 20MHz channel width, you have so many options including 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, and 165 channels. For 40MHz, you can use channels 36-40, 44-48, 149-153, or 157-161 thus no overlapping and for 80GHz you can choose 36-48 or 149-161. For the 2.4GHz WiFi band, we only recommend 20MHz as the channel width with the best channels for 2.4GHz being 1, 6, and 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Wi-Fi connections for everyone in your home is the ultimate goal. My home is always a cranky place when the internet is down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring that you get the best 5 GHz channel is important for an excellent connection. The best thing about the WiFi channel width for 5GHz is there is less interference as compared to 2.4GHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it means setting the highest WiFi channel width for the 5GHz band will give you exceptional performance if there are no devices or other routers in your vicinity. However, if there is any device or AP in the same channel, then you can’t bond the channels together and get higher internet speeds since the WiFi speeds will drop significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we recommend increasing the 5GHz channel width if you are at home which is not in a densely populated area like apartments, or have no other WiFi units in your home since they can also interfere with WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus for the 2.4GHz band, changing the WiFi channel width can lead to interference. Therefore, you can stick with the 20MHz. This is one of the main differences between 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi bands<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
