User Provisioning For Radio - Technicolor CGA4131 Operation Manual

Channel Width:
The channel bandwidth can be selected manually for Wireless-N connections. For best
performance in a network using Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices, it is
suggested to use the AUTO (20 or 40MHz) channel setting. Wireless-N connections will use
the 40MHz channel if there is no interference, while Wireless-G and Wireless-B will still use
the 20MHz channel. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking only, select 20MHz only.
Then only the 20MHz channel will be used. For 5GHz the options include AUTO (20 or 40
or 80MHz) the 80MHz will only be used for AC.
Channel:
If AUTO (20 or 40MHz) is selected for the Radio Band setting, then the appropriate Standard
Channel setting will be automatically selected, depending on the Wide Channel setting. If
only 20MHz is selected as the Radio Band setting, select the appropriate channel from the
list provided to correspond with the network settings. All devices in the wireless network
must broadcast on the same channel to communicate.
MAC Address:
The wireless MAC Address is displayed in this field.
Scan Nearby AP:
The Scan button provides a mechanism for the AP to scan for neighboring APs and provides
various statistics on neighbors.
