Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—in
the United States, there are 11 and in the United Kingdom (and most of
Europe), there are 13� In a small number of other countries, there are other
channel requirements� Your Router is configured to operate on the proper
channels for the country in which you reside� The channel can be changed
if needed� 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�
Extension Channel
The 802�11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary channel
to double the bandwidth (see “Using the Bandwidth Switch” on the next
page)� An appropriate extension channel will be displayed when operating
in 40MHz mode (see “Using the Wireless Mode Switch” below)� The
channel can be changed if needed�
Using the Wireless Mode switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes� There are several
modes�
Note:
Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled�
1)
off
This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless devices
can join the network� Turning off the wireless function of your Router is a
great way to secure your network when you are away from home for a long
period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless feature of the Router at a
certain time�
2) 80211g only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802�11g-compliant devices to
join the network, keeping out any slower 802�11b devices�
3) 1x1 80211n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802�11n-compliant devices to
join the network, keeping out any slower 802�11b/g devices�
4) 80211b & 80211g & 1x1 80211n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802�11b-, 802�11g-, and
802�11n-compliant devices to join the network�
