Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can
choose—in the United States, there are 11 and in the United Kingdom
(and most of Europe), there are 13. In a small number of 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 "Using the Bandwidth Switch"
on the next page) . An appropriate extension channel will be displayed
when operating in 40MHz mode (see "Using the Wireless Mode Switch"
below) . The channel can be changed if needed .
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router's wireless modes . There are
several modes .
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled.
1)
Off
This mode will turn OFF the Router's access point, so no wireless
devices can join the network . Turning off the wireless function of
your Router is a great way to secure your network when you are
away from home for a long period of time, or don't want to use the
wireless feature of the Router at a certain time .
2)
802.11g only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802 .11g-compliant
devices to join the network, keeping out any slower 802 .11b
devices .
3)
802.11b+g+n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802 .11b-, 802 .11g-, and
802 .11n-compliant devices to join the network .
4)
802.11n only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N/draft
802 .11n-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out
802 .11g and 802 .11b devices .
