 Band Width: Select the channel width for the access point to operate on. By
default, the access point is on 40 MHz.
 Wireless Channels: In North America, this access point can broadcast on 1 of 11
Channels for 2.4 GHz (13 in Europe and other countries). Selecting the Auto option
enables the access point to automatically select the best Channel for wireless
communication. To manually set the channel on which the router will broadcast,
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 neighboring wireless
networks.
 Transmit Power: The wireless transmit power can be modified to lower the
antenna strength setting from 100% to 20%, if necessary. Lowering the wireless
transmit power may help to better stabilize the wireless connectivity and reduce
the effects of wireless interference in areas where there are several 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz wireless devices. (Default: 100%)
 Max Clients: Select the maximum number of clients that can connect to your AP. By
default, the max number of clients is set to 16 devices.
