
Band: The radio frequency remains at 2.4GHz.

Channel: Fill in the appropriate channel to correspond with your network
settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in
order to work correctly. This router supports auto channeling functionality.

Auto Channel Timer(min): Specifies the timer of auto channelling.

802.11n/EWC: Select disable 802.11n or Auto .

Bandwidth: Select the bandwidth for the network. You can select 20MHz in
Both Bands or 40MHz in Both Bands.

Control Sideband: If you select 20MHz in Both Bands the service of
control sideband does not work. When you select 40MHz in Both Bands as
the bandwidth, you can select Lower or Upper as the value of sideband.

802.11n Rate/54g Rate: Select the transmission rate for the network. The
rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your
wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or
you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a
wireless client. The default value is Auto .

802.11n Protection: The 802.11n standards provide a protection method so
802.11b/g and 802.11n devices can co-exist in the same network without
“speaking” at the same time.

Support 802.11n Client Only: Only stations that are configured in 802.11n
mode can associate.

Multicast Rate: Select the multicast transmission rate for the network. The
rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your
wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or
you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a
wireless client. The default value is Auto .

Basic Rate: Select the basic transmission rate ability for the AP.

Fragmentation Threshold: Packets that are larger than this threshold are
fragmented into multiple packets. Try to increase the fragmentation threshold
if you encounter high packet error rates. Do not set the threshold too low,
since this can result in reduced networking performance.

RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of
2347.Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reductions are
recommended. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is
smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not
be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular
receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving
