Operation Mode: Both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz bands have the following 

operating modes: Access Point, WDS Root Access Point, WDS Repeater, 

and WDS Bridge.  

 

Access Point: Standard mode of operation. Allows a wireless 

connection to the LAN.  

 

WDS Root Access Point: The AP with this mode set will be the 

“root” device that APs configured with WDS Repeater and WDS 

Bridge will connect to.   

 

WDS Repeater: This mode allows the AP to connect to a WDS Root 

Access Point. This setting will take the SSID broadcasted by the 

WDS Root Access Point and rebroadcast it to end-user devices.  

 

WDS Bridge: This mode allows the AP to connect to a WDS Root 

Access Point. This mode takes in the SSID broadcasted by the WDS 

Root Access Point and turns it into Ethernet connectivity for client 

devices.  

 

Wireless Mode: Choose the setting that corresponds to the type of 

wireless clients connected to your network: B-Only, G-Only, B/G-Mixed, 

N/G-Mixed, or B/G/N-Mixed (on the 2.4 GHz band) or A-Only, N-Only, 

N/A-Mixed, AC-Only, AC/N-Mixed, or A/AC/N-Mixed (on the 5 GHz band). 

If you aren’t sure which type of clients will access the wireless networks, we 

recommend you keep the default settings.  

 

Channel Mode: By default, the Channel Mode is set to HT 20 MHz (when 

using 2.4 GHz) and HT 80 MHz (when using 5 GHz). Selecting 40 MHz on 

the 2.4 GHz band is possible, but not recommended, because it will also 

increase the risk of impacting wireless performance. We recommend 

keeping the 2.4 GHz radio set to 20 MHz and using only channel 1, 6, or 11, 

because they are the only three non-overlapping channels   

 

Channel: Using the default setting (Auto), the AP automatically selects the 

channel with best performance for the wireless network. To select a 

channel manually, click the drop-down list and select a channel. The 

channel options available depend on the Country Code selected.
