Extension Channel
Bandwidth
Multiple SSID Enable
Wireless feature.
See how to change the wireless channel on page 69
for further information.
This option is used to configure the wireless
extension channel when the 'Bandwidth' option is
set to 20/40MHz mode, 'Channel' is set to 1-13 and
'Wireless Mode' is set to '11b+11g+11n' or '11n only'.
The extension channel is used to double the wireless
bandwidth of the router, allowing for faster transfer
speeds across the wireless network.
The extension channel is four channels above or
below the primary wireless channel.
Channels 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 allow you to choose
whether the extension channel is a frequency range
above or below the primary channel to help avoid
interference. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12 and 13 will
automatically select the extension channel for you
(as only one extension channel will be available.)
If your 'Channel' is set to 'Auto' then the Bright Box
will decide which extension channel to use
automatically based on the router's Intelligent
Wireless feature.
This option is used to configure the wireless
bandwidth used for wireless N. This option is only
available if the 'Wireless Mode' is set to
'11b+11g+11n' or '11n only'.
The wireless bandwidth is set to 20MHz by default
on the Bright Box router.
Select '20MHz' for speeds up to 144Mbps over your
wireless network.
Select '20/40MHz' to bond the wireless channels
allowing you to double wireless speeds on your
network up to 300Mbps.
Please note that the wireless router is required to
automatically use the 20MHz mode when another
wireless network is transmitting in the same wireless
frequency ranges. If the router is set to 20/40MHz
bandwidth, it may still operate in 20MHz mode if it
detects another wireless access point transmitting
in a neighbouring frequency range.
This setting allows you to enable or disable any of
the three wireless network names (SSID's) supported
by the router. By default, only SSID1 is enabled – this
is your default wireless network.
Tick the box to enable the relevant SSID. Ensure
that you also enter a 'wireless network name (SSID)'
in the field, set the 'security' and tick the 'broadcast
SSID' option in order to configure an SSID to be
transmitting the wireless network name.
Untick the box to disable the relevant SSID and
prevent it from transmitting over the wireless
network.
