Note that widening the channel may or may NOT increase 5Ghz wifi throughput.

A couple of reasons that I know of:

- at that "center" channel 62 any widening would overlap the very busy looking 44 next door, i.e. increase in interference..

- many client device's can't use 40 or 80Ghz-width 5Ghz channels anyway.

802.11n and newer devices can use 40mhz channels. That technology came out over a decade ago.

On channels wider than 20, All management and control frames use a designated primary 20mhz wide channel within the wider channel to provide backwards compatibility with legacy clients.
