An IoT AP design for a water-utility closet specifies 2.4 GHz channel 6 with 20 MHz channel width. The technician sets channel 6 but leaves width at 40 MHz. What was missed?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Channel 6 at 40 MHz is not what the sheet asked for. Width is part of the channel config—punch in 20 MHz like the design says, especially on crowded 2.4 GHz IoT APs.
Full Explanation
When a design specifies channel width as well as channel number, technicians must configure both. Leaving a wider bandwidth than designed can increase utilization and interference, particularly in 2.4 GHz IoT deployments. CWTS install practice applies the full radio settings from the design document.
