The following settings are available in this screen:

Enable Wireless Router Radio. You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the wireless router by clearing this check box. Select this check box again to enable the wireless portion of the router. When the wireless radio is disabled, other members of your household can use the router by connecting their computers to the router with an Ethernet cable.

Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence. This is for the 2.4 GHz band only. The 20/40 MHz coexistence function is enabled by default when the wireless mode is set to Up to 300 Mpbs (40 MHz), which is required for Wi-Fi certification. This check box is grayed out if the wireless mode is set to Up to 130 Mbps.

The router can run in either 40 MHz mode or 20 MHz mode when the wireless mode is set to Up to 300 Mbps. When the Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence check box is selected, the router runs in 40 MHz mode unless there is another nearby WiFi network in the area already running in 40 MHz mode or there is a wireless access point on the secondary channel. If that happens, the router runs in 20 MHz mode to coexist with that network.

If you want the router to always run in 40 MHz mode, clear this check box and click Apply.

Note: The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
