802.11g Only - Select if all of your wireless clients are 802.11g.

802.11n Only - Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.

Select the Channel Width:

Auto 20/40 - This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.

20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients. 40MHz - Select if using only 802.11n wireless clients.

Select the transmit rate. It is strongly suggested to select Best (Auto) for best performance.

Select Invisible if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DIR-657. If Invisible is selected, the SSID of the DIR-657 will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your DIR-657
