Mode
Note: The mode
can be set only for
the primary wireless
LAN (NETGEAR).
• Up to 270Mbps means that all 802.11g, 802.11b, and faster
Draft-N wireless stations can be used. This mode expands the
channel bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz to achieve the
270-Mbps rate. The router selects channel expansion on a frame-
by-frame basis to avoid interference with the data transmissions
of other access points or wireless stations. Up to 270Mbps mode
uses two channels, but in this mode only the first channel is listed
in the channel pulldown menu. The associated channels in this
mode are: 1+5, 2+6, 3+7, 4+8, 5+9, 6+10, and 7+11.
Up to 270Mbps mode is the fastest mode and is compatible with
older wireless stations.
• Up to 130Mbps allows wireless stations that support speeds up
to 130 Mbps. It is the default setting. In this case, the router
transmits two streams with different data concurrently on the
same channel. This mode restricts channel bandwidth to minimize
interference with the data transmissions of other access points
and wireless stations.
• g & b allows older 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations to
access this device. You might want to select this mode if you have
a wireless station that is using WEP security and does not support
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
• g only allows only 802.11g wireless stations to access this
device.
• b only allows only 802.11b wireless stations to access this
device. However, note that in b only mode, 802.11g wireless
stations can connect if they can operate in 802.11b mode.

Point Control
• Always On is selected by default. This setting enables the
wireless radio, which allows the modem router to work as a
wireless access point.
The Wireless LED on the front of the modem router displays the
current status of the wireless access point to let you know if it is
disabled or enabled. The wireless access point must be enabled
to allow wireless stations to access the Internet.
• Per Schedule Below (Use 24-hour clock). You can specify
when the Wireless Access Point is turned on and turned off by
entering a start time in the Hour and Minute fields next to Turn on
Wireless Access Point and an end time in the Hour and Minute
fields next to Turn off Wireless Access Point.
• Always Off. Turning off the wireless radio can be helpful for
configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting.
