•
Mode
: This drop-down list is fixed to
WDS
as this is the Wireless Distribution operating mode.
•
Band
: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if you are
sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it is
recommended to select
802.11g
only instead of
2.4 GHz
B+G
which will reduce the
performance of the wireless network. You may also select
802.11B+G+N.
If all of the
wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same
transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the
appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission
mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
Channel
: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available are
based on the country’s regulation. A wireless network uses specific channels in the
wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your
area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest
channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.
