Using the bandwidth switch

This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless bandwidth modes.

There are several modes available:

1) 20MHz only

Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This mode

is compatible with N, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant

devices, but will limit N, draft 802.11n-compliant devices’ bandwidth by

half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might solve some

wireless problems.

2) 20MHz/40MHz auto

Setting the Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically between

20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz operation, to

maximize speed for N, draft 802.11n-compliant devices when conditions

permit. When a legacy 802.11g access point is presented and occupies

an adjacent secondary channel, the Router automatically reverts to

20MHz operation to maximize compatibility. We recommend using this

as the default mode.
