wireless channels to use automatically.
ͫ Frequency (Channel): Selecting the Auto option will set your router to scan for the
appropriate wireless channel to use automatically. Click the drop-down list and select
the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel
that is least used by neighbouring wireless networks.
ͫ Channel Width: Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network. This
setting only applies to 802.11n and 802.11ac.
ͳ For greater 802.11n performance, select Auto 20/40MHz.

ͳ 20MHz: This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices
connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This setting may provide more
stability than 20/40MHz (Auto) for connectivity in busy wireless environments
where there are several neighbouring wireless networks in the area.
ͳ Auto 20/40MHz (11n) or Auto 20/40/80MHz (11ac): When this setting is active,
this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices
support the channel width settings. Enabling Auto 20/40MHz or Auto 20/40/80
MHz typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting an
802.11ac/n wireless client.
