Extension Channel
The IEEE 802.11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary channel to
double the bandwidth (see "Using the Bandwidth Switch" below). An appropriate
extension channel will be displayed when operating in 40MHz mode (see "Using
the Wireless Mode Switch" below). The channel can be changed if needed.
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router's wireless modes. There are several
modes.
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled.
1) Off
This mode will turn OFF the Router's access point, so no wireless devices can
join the network. Turning off the wireless function of your Router is a great way to
secure your network when you are away from home for a long period of time, or
don't want to use the wireless feature of the Router at a certain time.
2) 802.11b+g
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802.11b- and g-compliant devices
to join the network.
3) 802.11b+g+n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802.11b-, 802.11g-, and 802.11n-
compliant devices to join the network.
4) 802.11n only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N/draft 802.11n-compliant devices
to join the network, keeping out 802.11g and 802.11b devices.
