This section allows you to configure and manage advanced settings of

your wireless network in 802.11a/n/ac modes. In most cases, however,
the default wireless settings will be sufficient.

Mode:

Select the 802.11 modulation technique.

The available modes for the 5 GHz setting are:

a only: Establishes the Wi-Fi network in 802.11a mode. Only

802.11a-compatible devices can connect to DWR-966 via Wi-Fi.

a/n mode: Select this mode to allow devices supporting 802.11a or

802.11n to connect to the DWR-966.

ac mode: Establishes the Wi-Fi network in 802.11ac mode. Only
802.11ac-compatible devices can connect to DWR-966 via Wi-Fi.

Channel Spacing:

The channel bandwidth occupied. For high-noise

environments, a lower channel spacing is recommended, however, the

maxima available throughput will be bounded.
