Note It might not be legal to operate the router in a region other than the
regions listed in the menu. If your country or region is not listed, check
with your local government agency.
Note If you change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive
name in this field.
Note In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the
channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections
or slow data transfers). If this situation occurs, experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
Note If you use multiple WiFi access points (APs), reduce interference by
selecting different channels for adjacent APs. We recommend a channel
spacing of four channels between adjacent APs (for example, use
Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

Up to 145 Mbps. Neighbor-friendly mode for reduced interference with neighboring
WiFi networks. This mode allows 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b devices to join the

Up to 300 Mbps. Performance mode. This mode allows 802.11n, 802.11g, and

Note WPA-PSK security supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps. Even if your
devices are capable of a higher speed, WPA-PSK security limits
their speed to 54 Mbps.
