Router "SpeedBooster" technology question.

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

One of the tricks they use is increasing the bandwith.
Normally a channel uses 22 Mhz (overlapping ca. 3 to 4 of the other
available channels) in the 2,5 Ghz band.
In case of 54 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s they usually use all of the available 13
channels or so.
