Network Mode

From this drop-down menu, you can

select the wireless standards running on your network. If
you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in
your network, keep the default, Mixed. If you have only
Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, select
BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices, select
Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G devices,
select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-B
devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any
wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.

Network Name (SSID)

The SSID is the network name

shared among all points in a wireless network. The
SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Channel Width

For best performance in a Wireless-N

network, select 40MHz only. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B
networking only, keep the default, 20MHz only. If you
are not sure which option to use, select Auto (20MHz or
40MHz)
.

NOTE:

If you select 40MHz only for the Channel

Width setting, then Wireless-N can use two
channels: a primary one (Wide Channel) and
a secondary one (Standard Channel). This will
enhance Wireless-N performance.

Wide Channel

If 40MHz only is the Channel Width

setting, then this setting will be available for your primary
