Optimize Bandwidth on 5 GHz Radio to Improve WLAN Performance

The insight analyzes each customer deployment and client behavior to recommend the optimal bandwidth for optimal TX rate gains, adequate SNR coverage, and reduced channel utilization. It optimizes the bandwidths (20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz) that are most suited to the 5G band. With the proper bandwidth, clients' network experiences can be considerably improved in terms of network coverage, speed, and interference.

To access the insight, complete the following steps:

1. Access the Insights page. For more information, see Accessing Insights Page.

2. Click the Optimize Bandwidth on 5 GHz Radio to Improve WLAN Performance tab.

   You can view the following metrics:

   • Actions card—The tile displays configuration details associated with the recommendation, including scope, radio profile, current settings, and recommended settings. You can also view the number of additional sites or scopes that may benefit from the same recommendation.

   • Average Throughput Improvement Chart—The graph displays the current and recommended bandwidth in the y-axis and the AP groups in the x-axis. The percentage at the top is the percentage gain that you can achieve by setting the recommended bandwidth. You can also hover over the graph to view the current and recommended bandwidth for the AP groups.
