40MHz is almost useless in 2.4GHz mode. Best channel width is dependent on what you want to do, what your intended clients are and the local noise floor, other band users, etc.

What are your plans, what are your intended clients, etc?

It is fine setup but you should have to use 20mhz channel width and 5th channel.

IMO the 1 Watt amp is not going to help you.
Amplifiers also amplify noise.
30dbm amp + 15dbi antenna=45dbm xmit power (32 watts not legal in usa)

I hope you're not in my area. lol

20Mhz spacing on any clear channel should work for you.

Throw away the amplifter and buy couple of Dbii F50-PRO's ...

Plug it to the RB433, use SXT or SEXANT for clients and you are ready to do some music 8) :D

I just want to help him do some resonable network and no monkey-bussiness in 2GHz band 8) But if he want ... then lets go with 20MHz channel in very noisy and narrow band ... Good luck :lol:

Amplifier? in which world are is that? remove it? which environment? do a scan and find free channel, use 20 unless you are running a private net and not for public connectivity then you can use 40 since most devices operate on 20
