Wouldn't that use more battery, since for a narrower channel the radio would have to be kept on for longer to transmit (or receive) the same amount of data?
- hrzn 12y agoUsually, 802.11 devices don't turn off between transmissions, so this has no effect. In fact, it's actually the opposite; using a narrower channel requires a slower clock rate, which also significantly reduces power consumption of the wireless device.
