Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—
in the United Kingdom (and most of Europe), Australia, and most of Asia,
there are 13 . In other countries, there are other channel requirements .
Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the
country in which you reside . The channel can be changed if needed . If
there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other
wireless networks .
extension Channel
The IEEE 802 . 1 1n draft specification allows the use of a secondary
channel to double the bandwidth (see the "Using the Bandwidth Switch"
section on the next page) . An appropriate extension channel will be
displayed when operating in 40MHz mode (see the "Using the Wireless
Mode Switch" section below) . The channel can be changed if necessary .
