Standard Channel (2.4 GHz)

Select the channel for

Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N (2.4GHz) networking.

setting, then the Standard Channel will be a secondary

channel for Wireless-N (2.4GHz). If you are not sure which

channel to select, keep the default, Auto.

do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select

Disabled.
