Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—in the
United Kingdom (and most of Europe), Australia, and most of Asia, there are 13.
In other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is
configured to operate on the proper channels for the country in which you reside.
The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is
different than the other wireless networks.
Extension Channel
The IEEE 802.11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary channel to
double the bandwidth (see the "Using the Bandwidth Switch" section on the next
page). An appropriate extension channel will be displayed when operating in
40MHz mode (see the "Using the Wireless Mode Switch" section below). The
channel can be changed if necessary.
