   * 20 MHz is the base channel width, but multiple channels may be bonded together to increase data rates and throughput.
-  * **2.4 GHz** should almost always be set to 20 MHz.

+===== Recommendation =====
+  * **2.4 GHz**:  Always set to 20 MHz.
     * There is not enough space in the 2.4 GHz spectrum to reliably use 40 MHz channels, especially with multiple APs.
-  * **5 GHz** can be set to 20, 40, 80, or 160 MHz.
+  * **5 GHz**:  Set to 20, 40, 80, or 160 MHz.
     * A higher setting value will provide a higher throughput.
-      * Some clients may not fully support 160 MHz channels in 5 GHz, which requires DFS.
+      * Some clients may not fully support 160 MHz channels in 5 GHz, which requires DFS (Dynamic frequency selection).
     * A lower setting value will support higher client density.
-  * **6 GHz** can safely be set to 80 or 160 MHz.
+  * **6 GHz**:  Set to 80 or 160 MHz.
-    * There is a lot of available spectrum for wide channels, and no requirement for DFS.
+    * There is a lot of available spectrum for wide channels, and no requirement for DFS (Dynamic frequency selection) or AFC (Automated Frequency Coordination).
