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.

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

o20 MHz – This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. This setting may provide more

stability than Auto 20/40 MHz for connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.

oAuto 20/40 MHz – This mode can automatically switch between using a single 20MHz channel or 40MHz (two 20MHz channels). When 40MHz is active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices support the 40MHz channel width. Enabling 20/40MHz typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting to an 802.11n client.

•SSID Broadcast

oEnabled allows wireless devices to search and discover your wireless network name (also called SSID) broadcasted by your router.

oDisabled 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.

•WMM – Wi-Fi Multimedia is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature which prioritizes audio and video data packets. This feature requires the wireless device to also support WMM. Click Enabled (recommended) or Disabled to turn this feature on or off on your router.
