Wireless - Advanced Settings
This screen allows you to configure the advanced settings for the Wireless Router. The Wire-
less-N Router adopts several new parameters to adjust the channel bandwidth and guard
intervals to improve the data rate dynamically. Linksys recommends to let your Wireless
Router automatically adjust the parameters for maximum data throughput.
Figure 25: Advanced Settings Screen
Channel Band-
width
You can select the channel bandwidth manually for Wireless-N con-
nections. When it is set to 20MHz, only the 20MHz channel is used.
When it is set to 40MHz, Wireless-N connections will use 40MHz
channel but Wireless-B and Wireless-G will still use 20MHz channel.
The default is 20MHz.
Guard Interval
You can select the guard interval manually for Wireless-N connec-
tions. The two options are Short (400ns) and Long (800ns). The
default is Short.
CTS Protection
Mode
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function boosts the Wireless
Router’s ability to catch all wireless transmissions, but will severely
decrease performance. Keep the default setting, Auto, so the Wireless
Router can use this feature as needed, when the Wireless-N/G products
are not able to transmit to the Wireless Router in an environment with
heavy 802.11b traffic. Select Disabled if you want to permanently
disable this feature.
Transmission
Rate
Select the desired transmission rate from the drop-down list. The
default is Auto.
N Transmission
Rate
Select the desired rate from the drop-down list. The default is Auto.
Beacon Interval
This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is
a packet broadcast by the Wireless Router to keep the network syn-
chronized. A beacon includes the wireless networks service area, the
Wireless Router address, the Broadcast destination addresses, a time
stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator
