Wireless Channel
Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the country
you reside in. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area,
your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the
other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least
five channels away from the other wireless networks. For instance, if another
network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or
below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list.
Click “Apply”. The change is immediate.
Channel Bonding
Channel bonding is a feature of Draft-11n operation. The default channel
bandwidth setting is Auto, letting the AP adjust channel bandwidth on the
basis of the radio environment. You can select standard (20-MHz) channel
bandwidth to lessen the chance of interference with other wireless networks,
or wide (40-MHz) channel bandwidth for maximum performance.
The extension channel is the additional 20-MHz channel used to extend total
bandwidth to 40 MHz. Changing this setting might cause the Wireless Chan-
nel setting to change, as the resulting 40-MHz channel must be continuous.
Broadcast SSID
For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID
(set to “Allow” by default). 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 tick and click on “Apply”.
