FlashAir Bandwidth Limitation
I came across this tidbit of knowledge while playing with my FlashAir. The Toshiba FlashAir is limited to a 20Mhz maximum bandwidth. Some WiFi access points have the ability to adjust this size. The newer WiFi access points have a default of 40Mhz, with an option to enable 20/40 MHz coexistence. This option is located somewhere in the 2.4Ghz parameter section. Netgear has this parameter located in the Advanced->Advanced Setup->Wireless Settings. The FlashAir will either not connect or have connection problems if the bandwidth is set above 20Mhz.
What the bandwidth setting does:
The greater the bandwidth, sometimes listed as: "Channel Spectrum Width", can be used to control the channel width consumed by your link/device. Using a higher channel width will increase throughput. Using a lower channel width will allow an increased number of channels to be used (including more non-overlapping channels). Lowering channel width may also provide more robust links over long distances.
I hope this may help someone.
