.
You can specify the settings for the 2.4 GHz band and for the 5 GHz band.

To specify the region, select a country or region from the
Region
list.
In some locations it is not possible to select the region.
6.
To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts its network name (SSID) so that it
displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or wireless device.
7.
To change the network name (SSID), type a new name in the
Name (SSID)
field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID is
randomly generated and is on the product label. If you change the name, make sure to
write down the new name and keep it in a safe place
.
8.
To change the wireless channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you
experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

To change the wireless speed, select settings in the 2.4 GHz
