Manage the channel high throughput mode
The channel high throughput (HT) mode is also referred to as the channel width.
The default channel widths are as follows:
•
2.4 GHz radio: 20 MHz
•
5 GHz radio: 40 MHz
The wider the channel, the better the performance (that is, the greater the transmission
quality and speed), but the fewer channels are available for use. Before you change the
channel width, consider your network conditions and the applications that must be
supported. Use the following guidelines:
•
A wider channel improves the performance (no or minimal interference and better
data rates).
•
The 802.11n specification allows a 40 MHz–wide channel in addition to the legacy
20 MHz channel.
•
The 802.11ac and 802.11ax specifications allow an 80 MHz–wide channel in addition
to the 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels.
•
The 40 MHz and 80 MHz channels enable higher data rates but leave fewer channels
available for use.
To manage the channel HT mode:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980.
