If using U-NII 3 bands:

• Power Spectral Density Limit around 30 dBm (500 kHz)
• 1 Watt total power output
• Channels 149 to 165; if 80 MHz then set channel to 149. If 40 MHz then 149, 157 and 165 should be preferred.
• Needs more power for obstacle traversal (hence why PSD Limit is so high)
• Great range and great performance
• Not allowed in Japan

If using U-NII 2A or 2C bands:

• Power Spectral Density Limit around 11 dBm / (1 MHz)
• 250 mW total power output
• Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) required
• Rarely used due to DFS interference (in use by weather and military radars also), will cause disconnects
• Channels 52 to 68 for U-NII 2A, or Channels 96 to 144 for U-NII 2C
• Poor range, poor performance if beyond the same room
• Excellent performance due to little to no interference from other APs
• Not all 5GHz-supporting devices support these bands
• Not allowed in China
• Channels 120 to 128 not allowed in Australia and Canada
• Channels 96 to 128 not allowed in Russia
• No DFS required for South Africa and the Philippines

If using U-NII 1 bands:

• Power Spectral Density Limit around 11 dBm (for Portable clients) to 17 dBm (for point to point APs)
• 250 mW total power output for clients; 1 Watt total power output for other APs
• Channels 36 to 48
• Poor range, poor performance if beyond the same room
• Significant congestion
• Best support from 5GHz-supporting devices
• Not allowed in China
• DFS required in South Africa
