Wireless - Advanced Settings

This screen allows you to configure the advanced settings for the Wireless Router. The Wire-
less-N Router adopts several new parameters to adjust the channel bandwidth and guard
intervals to improve the data rate dynamically. Linksys recommends to let your Wireless
Router automatically adjust the parameters for maximum data throughput.
Channel Band- You can select the channel bandwidth manually for Wireless-N con-
width nections. When it is set to 20MHz, only the 20MHz channel is used.
When it is set to 40MHz, Wireless-N connections will use 40MHz
channel but Wireless-B and Wireless-G will still use 20MHz channel.
The default is 20MHz.
Guard Interval You can select the guard interval manually for Wireless-N connec-
tions. The two options are Short (400ns) and Long (800ns). The
default is Short.
CTS Protection CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function boosts the Wireless
Router's ability to catch all wireless transmissions, but will severely

disable this feature.
