• Region. This field identifies the region where the WPN824 can be used. It may not be legal to
operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those
identified in this field.
Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries.
• Channel. This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary
to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby
access point. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies, please see
Communications" in Appendix
• Mode. This field determines which data communications protocol to use. You can select "g
only", "b only", or "g and b". The "g only" option dedicates the WPN824 to communicating
with the higher bandwidth 802.11g wireless devices exclusively. "b only" dedicates the
WPN824 to communicating with the lower bandwidth 802.11b wireless devices exclusively.
The "g and b" mode provides backward compatibility with the slower 802.11b wireless
devices while still enabling 802.11g communications.
• Security Options. These options are the wireless security features you can enable. The table
below identifies the various basic wireless security options. A full explanation of these
standards is available in
