Using the bandwidth switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless bandwidth modes .
There are several modes available:
1) 20MHz/40MHz
Setting the Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically between
20MHz and 40MHz operation . This mode enables 40MHz operation,
to maximize speed for N1, draft 802 .11n-compliant devices when
conditions permit . When a legacy 802 .11g access point is presented
and occupies an adjacent secondary channel, the Router automatically
reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize compatibility . Set to this mode
for higher performance .
2) 20MHz
Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation . This mode
is compatible with N1, draft 802 .11n-, 802 .11g-, and 802 .11b-compliant
devices, but will limit N1, draft 802 .11n-compliant devices’ bandwidth by
half . Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might solve some
wireless problems . This is the default mode for the Router .
Using the broadcast ssId feature
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only . For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s
SSID . Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers
that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks . To turn off
the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next
to “Broadcast SSID”, and then click “Apply Changes” . The change is
immediate . Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your
specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted . Refer to
the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on
making this change .
2) 802 .11b
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802 .11b-compliant
devices to join the network . N1/draft 802 .11n and 802 .11g devices will
operate at the 802 .11b speed only .
3) 802 .11g
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802 .11g- and
802 .11b-compliant devices to join the network . N1/draft 802 .11n devices
will operate at the 802 .11g speed only .
4) 802 .11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N1/draft
802 .11n-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out 802 .11g and
802 .11b devices .
5) 802 .11b & 802 .11g
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802 .11g- and
802 .11b-compliant devices to join the network .
6) 802 .11g & 802 .11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802 .11n- and
802 .11g-compliant devices to join the network .
7) 802 .11b & 802 .11g & 802 .11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802 .11n-, 802 .11g-,
and 802 .11b-compliant devices to join the network .
