Using the Bandwidth Switch

This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless bandwidth modes.

There are several modes available:

1) 20MHz only

Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This mode is compatible with N, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant devices, but will limit N, 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 Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically between 20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz operation, to maximize speed for N, 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. We recommend using this as the default mode.
