USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—
in the United States, there are 11 and in the United Kingdom (and most
of Europe), there are 13� In a small number of other countries, there are
other channel requirements� Your Router is configured to operate on the
proper channels for the country in which you reside� The channel can
be changed if needed� If there are other wireless networks operating in
your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is
different than the other wireless networks�
Extension Channel
The 802�11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary channel
to double the bandwidth (see “Using the Bandwidth Switch” on the
next page)� An appropriate extension channel will be displayed when
operating in 40MHz mode (see “Using the Wireless Mode Switch”
below)� The channel can be changed if needed�
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes� There are
several modes�
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled�
1) Off
This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless
devices can join the network� Turning off the wireless function of your
Router is a great way to secure your network when you are away from
home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless feature
of the Router at a certain time�
2) 802.11g only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802�11g-compliant
devices to join the network, keeping out any slower 802�11b devices�
3) 1x1 802.11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802�11n-compliant
devices to join the network, keeping out any slower 802�11b/g devices�
4) 802.11b & 802.11g & 1x1 802.11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow 802�11b-, 802�11g-, and
802�11n-compliant devices to join the network�
