12. Select a channel number (Auto, 1 thru 11) from the Channel drop-down list to set the
Communications channel for your SBG10.
Note: For 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks, it is recommended to use Channel 1, 6, or 11, if it is
not listed as the Current Channel. In the Wi-Fi spectrum, there are multiple channels
that overlap and thus degrade Wi-Fi network performance. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are
used for better network performance and stability because they do not overlap.

clients.
- or -
Deselect the AP Isolation checkbox to disable separate virtual networks for your Wi-Fi
clients.

network and will not be able to communicate with the other Wi-Fi clients. This may be
useful if several guests are using your Wi-Fi network.
14. Select the Enable WMM checkbox to turn ON Wi-Fi Multi-media functionality.
Enabling WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting multi-media content
over a Wi-Fi connection. This quality of service mechanism uses four access categories:
•
Voice
•
Video
•
Best effort
•
Background
WMM ensures that applications with low tolerance for latency and jitter are treated with
higher priority than less sensitive data applications. WMM sets different wait times for the
above four categories to provide priority network access for applications that are less
tolerant of packet delays.
15. Select the WMM Power Save mode checkbox to set the more efficient power
management method.
-or-
Deselect the WMM Power Save mode checkbox to turn OFF the WMM Power Save mode.
