Band [MHz]	Max BW [MHz]	Flags	Max antenna gain [dBi]	Max EIRP [dBm (mW)]

2402.000 - 2482.000	40.000		N/A	20.00 (100.00) => 80 MHz

5170.000 - 5250.000	40.000		N/A	20.00 (100.00) => 80 MHz

5250.000 - 5330.000	40.000	DFS	N/A	20.00 (100.00) => 80 MHz

5490.000 - 5710.000	40.000	DFS	N/A	27.00 (501.19) => 220 MHz 

(total 5 GHz 380 MHz, 5600-5650 = radar = 50 MHz)

For example, if you select  5805 MHz (40 MHz channel) and Below, the radio will use  (5775 to 5795 MHz) + (5795 to 5815 MHz), 

but if you select   5805 MHz (40 MHz channel) and Above, the radio will use  (5795 to 5815 MHz) + (5815 to 5835 MHz).

Lab on table same room compliance mode 5.5

- one NSM5 AP WDS

- one LocoM5 STA WDS 1 meter from the NSM5

- one NBM5 head (without dish) right in between Loco and NS running AirView

Steps for each graph

# associate NS and Loco with new frequency and width

# clear airview

# launch 300 second iperf client between netbook behind NSM5 to iperf server on locoM5

# after iperf is done save airview screenshot

# go back to step 1
