Network Mode  From this drop-down menu, you can select the wireless standards running on your network. If you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in your network, keep the default, Mixed. If you have only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices, select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.

Network Name (SSID)  The SSID is the network name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network. For added security, you should change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Channel Width  For best performance in a Wireless-N network, select 40MHz only. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking only, keep the default, 20MHz only. If you are not sure which option to use, select Auto (20MHz or 40MHz).

NOTE: If you select 40MHz only for the Channel Width setting, then Wireless-N can use two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel) and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This will enhance Wireless-N performance.

Wide Channel  If 40MHz only is the Channel Width setting, then this setting will be available for your primary
