2) 802..11b

Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802..11b-compliant devices to join the network.. N1/draft 802..11n and 802..11g devices will operate at the 802..11b speed only..

3) 802..11g

Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802..11g- and

802..11b-compliant devices to join the network.. N1/draft 802..11n devices will operate at the 802..11g speed only..

4) 802..11n

Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N1/draft

802..11n-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out 802..11g and 802..11b devices..

5) 802..11b & 802..11g

Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802..11g- and 802..11b-compliant devices to join the network..

6) 802..11g & 802..11n

Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802..11n- and 802..11g-compliant devices to join the network..

7) 802..11b & 802..11g & 802..11n

Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802..11n-, 802..11g-, and 802..11b-compliant devices to join the network..

Using the Bandwidth Switch

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

1) 20MHz/40MHz

Setting the Router 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 Router automatically reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize compatibility.. Set to this mode for higher performance..

2) 20MHz

Setting the Router 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.. This is the default mode for the Router..

Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID.. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks.. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, and then click “Apply Changes”.. The change is immediate.. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted.. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change..
