Using the Bandwidth Switch

This switch allows you to set the N1 Vision’s wireless bandwidth modes. There are several modes available:

1)20MHz only

Setting the N1 Vision to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This mode is compatible with N1, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant devices, but will limit N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices’ bandwidth by half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might solve some wireless problems.

2)20MHz/40MHz Auto

Setting the N1 Vision to this mode allows it to switch automatically between 20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz operation, to maximize speed for N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices when conditions permit. When a legacy 802.11g

access point is presented and occupies an adjacent secondary channel, the N1 Vision automatically reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize compatibility. We recommend using this as the default mode.
