Explanation

Channel bonding (also called channel aggregation) combines two adjacent wireless channels into a single, wider channel, effectively doubling the available bandwidth. For 802.11n, this means bonding two 20 MHz channels into a 40 MHz channel, which approximately doubles throughput. Disabling SSID only hides the network name and does not affect bandwidth. MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is already a feature of 802.11n and improves signal reliability rather than directly doubling bandwidth via channel combination. Increasing signal strength increases coverage range but does not increase the available bandwidth of the channels.
