3. Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.

6. Click Save Settings:
7. The router Wi-Fi will now be using the 20/40Mhz bandwidth for speeds up to 300Mbps.
Due to potential interference with other Wi-Fi networks, when the Bright Box is set to
20/40MHz mode, it will automatically switch between 40 and 20 MHz modes when it detects
another access point operating in a neighbouring wireless channel nearby. Due to this
requirement, you may not be able to gain the full benefit of the up to 300Mbps wireless
speeds in your home if a neighbouring network is using a similar range of wireless channels
(only speeds up to 144Mbps will be achievable).
Wireless speeds will be dependent on the type of wireless adapter you are using to
connect to the router. If your adapter is an older 802.11b/g standard, you will only be able to
achieve speeds up to 54Mbps. Some wireless 802.11n adapters may also not be able to
achieve speeds up to 300Mbps. Please check the manufacturers website for supported
speeds or updated drivers for your device.
