■11g only: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router, but the 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates (up to 54 Mbps). Any 802.11b clients will not be able to communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router.
■11n only: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps).
■11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g clients.
■11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the Wireless Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.
◆Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the Wireless Broadband Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the Wireless Broadband Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the Wireless Broadband Router to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
The HT Physical Mode section on the Wireless Settings Advanced page includes additional parameters for 802.11n operation.
