36, 40, 44, 48 if you are using mac book pro's.... upper channels aren't supported
Hi Bob,
People should check supported Wifi channels in the wifi section on the System info on their Mac. Your observation is extremely useful to clear why this happens. Thanx
Hi Bob what MBP do you have? Mine is a mid MBP 2012 13 inch and only accepts the lower channels.
2008 MBP. My Wife's 2008 iMac handles the same channels as the MBP.
The iPad2 here will handle the higher 5 GHz channels as well.
best channel to use for 5GHZ Mode in AIRPORT EXTREME?
