Man I got bit for the longest time by Intel's default settings for the Ultimate-N 6300 adapter. You have to manually go into the device manager and adjust the settings to set channel bonding @ 2.4Ghz to 'Auto' instead of '20Mhz only'. Yes, bonding on 2.4Ghz is often difficult to deal with because of limited channels, but why on earth is that a client setting?

If I know there's no interference, and enable all my AP's to use bonding, why would clients just arbitrarily ignore it? Stupid. Had like 20 new laptops with Ultimate-N's and I had to go one by one and manually set the device manager setting.

Because each set of bonded channels takes up approx 60% of the 2.4 (US) spectrum and you still overlap with a neighboring AP doing the same thing assuming this is a multi-ap deploy.

If only 1 AP then go hog wild I guess?
