value is case-sensitive. For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.

default setting
11b/g/n mixed

to the router.

Channel Width
- Select any channel width from the drop-down list. The default setting
is
Auto
, which can automatically adjust the channel width for your clients.
•
Channel
- This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to

. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
notice interference problems with another nearby access point.

disabled to allow or deny wireless access. If enabled, the wireless clients will be able
