The following table describes the labels in this screen.
HT (High Throughput) Physical Mode - Use the fields below to configure the 802.11 wireless environment of
your Router.
Operating
Mode
Choose this according to the wireless mode(s) used in your network.
Mixed Mode - Select this if the wireless clients in your network use different wireless modes
(for example, IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.1n modes)
Green Mode - Select this if the wireless clients in your network uses only one type of
wireless mode (for example, IEEEE 802.11 n only)
Channel
Bandwidth
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20/40 MHz).
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood.
Guard Interval Select Auto to increase data throughput. However, this may make data transfer more prone
to errors.
Select Long to prioritize data integrity. This may be because your wireless network is busy
and congested or the Router is located in an environment prone to radio interference.
Extension
Channel
This is set to Auto by default.
If you select 20/40 as your Channel Bandwidth, the extension channel enables the Router
to get higher data throughput. This also lowers radio interference and traffic.
