hello,

what does it mean channel bonding ? for example when we have 2 channles ex (52,56)

Thanks in advance

Channel bonding is putting two or more 20mhz channels together to allow for more throughput.  Without channel bonding, you would only be using one 20mhz channel.

Thanks Scott for your help

Just note that depending on the RF around you and the density of AP's you have, bonding more than two can introduce more co-channel interference.  In some very dense ap locations, we even only use 20mhz channel width.  You have to really look at the RF and the impact when bonding really more than two channels.
