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.
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) 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.
2) 802.11g & 802.11b
Setting the Router to this mode will let 802.11g- and
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.
3) 802.11n & 802.11g
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802.11n- and
802.11g-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out any
slower 802.11b devices.
4) 802.11n only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N1/draft
802.11n-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out
802.11g and 802.11b devices.
5) 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.
