Bandwidth of Super G wireless networks

[japlytic]

I am investigating the possibility of using a channel other than 6 for Super G wireless networking.
The one and only question to continue investigating this possibility: What is the bandwidth (in MHz) for each Super G channel?

nope, you can't do that! i always thought it was a "sweet spot" that allowed for-super-g to occur... and that spot is channel six.

Blatant false.

All channels have same bandwidth. What give you best performance is the strongest signal strengh (S & N ratio lowest) by picking a channel that is not in use nearby since the wireless is only about 50 feet radius. Too many wireless AP even it is not yours on same channel *DEGRADES* the performance.

a is old now, most use enchanced b or g. But N is already inexpensive and does utilize much better chipsets instead of grabage Realtek.

Sometimes need high gain antenna for better sensitivity due to metal studs and bit farther away and there were few APs scattered around in our 9 floor apartment. Which I had to do this to my dad's computer. And using N wireless router also helps even I'm only using b+g.

I've found that Super G is 40MHz wide: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1435720,00.asp
And I determined that you can use Channels 3 to 13 (Channels 12 and 13 for Japan only) for Super G.

then explain why my super-g netgear router only allowed super-g on channel 6?

Bad design? Only channel with s/n ratio good enough. My wireless sucks across the house because there are a zillion aps here on all channels.
