Description
The wireless channel: 1 through 13. This setting applies to any guest
networks you set up. Do not change the channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, you might need to try different channels to see which is best.
The number of available channels varies by region and depends on the
selected mode.
Up to 150 Mbps (default setting): Allows wireless stations that
•
support speeds up to 150 Mbps. The router transmits two streams
with different data concurrently on the same channel. This mode
restricts channel bandwidth to minimize interference with the
transmissions of other wireless networks.
Up to 65 Mbps: Neighbor Friendly Mode - Will not interfere with
•
neighboring wireless networks.
Up to 54 Mbps: Allows wireless stations that support speeds up to
•
54 Mbps.
You can use this setting to establish wireless connectivity before
implementing wireless security. NETGEAR strongly recommends that
you implement wireless security.
Use encryption keys and data encryption for data security. You can
select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See
Allow only computers configured with WPA to connect to the wireless
router. See the following section,
