The 6 GHz band allows network administrators to deploy 14 non-overlapping channels of 80 MHz. This number of channels enables flexibility of AP Layout coverage design without the legacy-bands practices, which require compromises on the channel width. This enables the 6 GHz WLAN environment to maintain less network congestion, thus yielding better application performance and overall user experience. For this reason, it is recommended to use 80 MHz channel widths.
The chart below depicts how the throughput of the 80 MHz recommended setting is four times higher than that of the 20 MHz.

Similarly, the chart below illustrates 80 MHz width with packet latency (in milliseconds) remaining consistently low with an increasing number of voice clients.
