o AC only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
newer and faster 802.11ac technology (typically not recommended).
o A/N/AC mixed: This mode allows older 802.11a and 802.11n wireless devices to
connect to the access point in addition to newer 802.11ac devices.
o A/N/AC/AX mixed: This mode allows older 802.11a, 802.11n. 802.11ac wireless
devices to connect to the access point in addition to the newer and faster
802.11ax.
Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest
wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are
unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (A/N/AC mixed) for
the best compatibility.
When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following:
• Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can
connect wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b.
• Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n
supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.
• Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless
network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher
performance and data rates of 802.11n.
• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to
connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode.
• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a
wireless network that is set to 802.11g only mode.
• Channel Width: Select the channel width for the access point to operate on. By
default, the access point is on 20 MHz for the 2.4GHz and Auto 20/40/80 MHz for
the 5GHz..
• Extension channel: When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should
select extension channel to get higher throughput.
• Frequency (Channel): In North America, this access point can broadcast on 1 of 11
Channels for 2.4GHz (13 in Europe and other countries). Selecting the Auto option
enables the router 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.
