WiFi channels for clear and fast wireless connections. When the Wireless Mode field in the
Wireless Settings screen is set to Auto, clear channel is automatically enabled.
Here, in the Advanced Wireless Setting screen, you can change the sensitivity for the clear
channel selector. By default it is set to Middle. If you think that is too sensitive, you can select
the Low radio button. To increase sensitivity, select the High radio button. With the High
setting you might get some wireless disconnections if your wireless client does not support
802.11h (this smooth channel switch protocol.) If you use the High setting, NETGEAR
recommends that you update your wireless equipment with the latest wireless drivers.

Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)

You can set the WNDR3800 router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another
wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
