How to read this
- On 2.4 GHz the centre is 2407 + number × 5; only channel 14 breaks the rule at 2484.
- 5 GHz is 5000 + number × 5, and 6 GHz is 5950 + number × 5.
- A 2.4 GHz signal occupies 22 MHz, so channels must sit five apart to clear each other.
- Bonding to 40 MHz uses two neighbouring channels, leaving fewer places to hide.
Which channels are legal depends on the country. 12 and 13 are allowed in Korea, Europe and Japan but not in the US; 14 is Japan-only and legacy-only; and 6 GHz is still closed in some countries.
