Changing the Wireless Channel

There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose.. 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..

Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802..11b- and g-compliant devices to join the network

The IEEE 802..11n specification allows the use of a secondary channel to double the bandwidth (see “Using the Bandwidth Switch” below)..
