o2.4GHz 802.11g only mode – This mode only allows devices to connect to the

router using older and slow 802.11g technology (typically not recommended).

o2.4GHz 802.11b only mode – This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11b technology (typically not recommended).

Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n mixed mode) for the best compatibility.

When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following:

•Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can connect wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b.

•Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.

•Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher performance and data rates of 802.11n.

•Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode.

•Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11g only mode.

•Wireless Name (SSID): This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the name of your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others around you.

o Disabled turns off the ability for wireless devices to find your network. It is still possible for wireless devices to be configured to connect to your wireless network.

Note: Setting this option to Disabled, will disable WPS functionality.

•Frequency (Channel): To manually set the channel on which the router will broadcast, uncheck Auto Channel, then click the drop-down list and select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks.

•WDS: This acronym stands for Wireless Distribution System and when enabled it creates a wireless bridge connection between your wireless router and an access point that supports WDS.

o AP MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the access point you would like the router to WDS to. You will also have to enter the MAC address of the router into the access point to establish the WDS or bridge connection. This wireless router supports up to 3 WDS connections.

•Channel Width: This setting only applies to wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.

o 20 MHz – This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. This setting may provide more stability
