In a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, which channel width setting could potentially allow for the highest data throughput but may result in greater susceptibility to interference in densely populated network environments?
A channel width of 160 MHz in a 5GHz network provides the highest data throughput by enabling more data to be transferred simultaneously. However, using such a wide bandwidth can greatly increase the risk of interference in areas where many networks are operating, due to the broader range of frequencies being utilized.
