For the 2.4 GHz band, the default network mode is Mixed

compatibility. The other network modes are 802.11b only,
802.11g only, 802.11n only, Mixed 802.11 b+g, and Mixed
802.11 g+n.
For the 5 GHz band, the default network mode is Mixed
802.11 a+n. Keep this setting for maximum client
compatibility. The other network modes are 802.11a only and
802.11n only.
The default setting of 20/40 MHz (Auto) for the 5 GHz network
is recommended unless you are having connectivity issues.
The default for the 2.4 GHz network is 20 MHz.
Accept the default (Auto) or select a channel from the drop-
down list.
Your wireless clients identify and connect to your router using
the network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID
broadcast is On by default. For additional security, you can
turn SSID broadcast to Off.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a standard that defines quality of
service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks, prioritizes capability, and
optimizes video and audio performance.
WMM QoS is forced to On (grayed out) when the Network
mode set includes 802.11n. If you select any mode not
including 802.11n, you have the option to turn WMM QoS
Off.
