Channel Width
Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides
the standard 20 MHz. 802.11g & 802.11n offer the option to use 40 MHz
channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the client must
support 40 MHz channels to use them.

channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address
based) mode, then the wireless channel must be selected manually.
