same time. Although the wireless b/g operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it
will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless n/g @ 54Mbps) to
connect and access at the same time.
o 802.11b/g/n mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz
frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless g client devices to
connect and access point, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 300Mbps* for
wireless n and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n
operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz
client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the same time.
• Frequency (Channel): To manually set the channel on which the router will
broadcast, uncheck Auto Channel, then 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.
• Extension channel: When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should
select extension channel to get higher throughput.
• Channel Mode: Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. The
last one can enhance data throughput, but it takes more bandwidth, thus it might
cause potential interference.
• Antenna: By default, IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE uses its built-in antenna for
directional transmission; however, if you prefer to use an external antenna for
your case-dependent applications, you can switch from "Internal (8 dBi)" to"
External (N-Type)". When External (N-Type) is selected, an Antenna Gain bar will
appear to allow you specify the gain of the external antenna. The antenna gain
calculates the TX power back off needed to remain in compliance with
regulations. Please refer to External Antenna
o You are able to choose "External (N-Type)" only when you have well done
installing the external antenna; otherwise, it might damage IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Wireless CPE itself.
o The maximum output power will vary depending on the country selected in
order to comply with the local regulation.
o The output power here is counted from the RF single chain only not including
the 8dBi internal antenna.
• Maximum Output power: Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the
output power is, the wider the signal can cover, but the power consumption will
be greater accordingly.
• Data Rate: Usually "Auto" is preferred. Under this rate, the IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Wireless CPE will automatically select the highest available rate to transmit. In

some cases, however, like where there is no great demand for speed, you can
have a relatively-low transmit rate for compromise of a long distance.
• Extension Channel Protection: This is to avoid conflict with other wireless
network and boost the ability of your device to catch all 802.11g transmissions.
However, it may decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self;
the transmission amount of CTS-RTS is much lower.
Wireless >WDS Setting
This section outlines the available management options under the WDS Settings of the
Wireless button. WDS Settings is available only under Bridge and AP Repeater Mode.
• WDS Separation: Enable separates all configured WDS AP to communicate with
each other.
• Remote AP: Enter the MAC address of the access point you want to WDS with.
Note: You must enter the MAC address of every access point in the WDS
network. Each wireless setting (SSID, channel, wireless encryption) must match
on each access point in the WDS network.
