6.7.4 WiFi Settings (Advanced)
When you select the Wireless (WiFi) Networks
Settings tab in the Local Network Interfaces section,
you have several additional options for configuring your
wireless LANs under the WiFi Settings heading.
WiFi band: Select the range of frequencies the router
will use. The MBR1400 can operate in either the 2.4 GHz
or the 5.0 GHz ranges. (Default: 2.4 GHz. The included
WiFi antennas are 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz antennas are
available as an accessory.)
Channel Selection Method: This controls how a WiFi
channel is selected.
User Selection. Manually set the channel.
Random Selection. The router randomly sets the
channel.
Smart Selection (Default). Scans to determine
the lowest interference WiFi channel.
Channel Selection Schedule: When using the "Smart"
channel selection, this controls whether the router will
periodically rescan for a better channel and change to it.
Select from ―Once,‖ ―Daily,‖ ―Weekly,‖ or ―Monthly.‖ Note
that there may be a momentary WiFi disconnection while
the channel changes.
Optimize WiFi/WiMAX coexistence: (Shows if Smart Selection or Random Selection is chosen and the WiFi Band is
2.4 GHz.) Setting this will lessen any possible conflict with WiFi in the 2.4 GHz band and an attached WiMAX modem. If a
WiMAX modem is attached to the router when the WiFi is enabled, the WiFi channel and transmit power will be set to
levels that optimize the performance of the WiMAX modem. If no WiMAX modem is attached, then default channel and
power settings will be used even if this is selected.
