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 Kingdom (and most of Europe), Australia, and most of Asia,
there are 13� In 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�
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�
