The wireless network inside a large training room has been saturated with client requests. Most of the client requests are coming from smartphones and laptops. The network technician has been tasked…

Switching the channel moves to a less congested frequency channel but does not increase the total bandwidth available to clients.

Changing frequencies (e.g., from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz) reduces interference but does not by itself maximize throughput the way channel bonding does.

Channel bonding (also called channel aggregation) merges two 20 MHz channels into a single 40 MHz channel, effectively doubling the data rate and throughput of the access point. This directly addresses saturation by increasing the amount of data that can be transmitted simultaneously, which benefits the high number of client devices in the training room.

Increasing the signal strength extends range but does not increase the bandwidth or throughput capacity of the access point.
