DescriptionField
From the Channel menu, select an individual channel. The default channel depends on
your selection from the Region menu.
Note: In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless
you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this
situation occurs, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
Note: If you use multiple WiFi access points (APs), reduce interference by selecting different
channels for adjacent APs. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels between
adjacent APs.

From the Mode menu, select one of the following modes:
•
Up to 173 Mbps. Legacy mode. This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a
devices to join the network but limits 802.11ac and 802.11n devices to functioning at up
to 173 Mbps.
•
Up to 400 Mbps. Neighbor-friendly mode for reduced interference with neighboring
WiFi networks. This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a devices to join the
network but limits 802.11ac devices to functioning at up to 400 Mbps.
•
Up to 867 Mbps. Performance mode. This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a
devices to join the network and allows 802.11ac devices to function at up to 867 Mbps.
This mode is the default mode.
Mode
By default, the AP broadcasts its SSID so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name (SSID)
in their scanned network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID
Broadcast check box. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional WiFi security,
but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the AP.
Note: If you set up a WiFi distribution system (WDS; see Set up a WiFi distribution system
on page 76), you must keep the SSID broadcast enabled.
