This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless

home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless feature
of the Router at a certain time .

Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802 .11g- and
802 .11b-compliant devices to join the network . N/draft 802 .11n devices
will operate at the 802 .11g speed only .
3) 802 .11b & 802 .11g & 802 .11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N/draft 802 .11n-, 802 .11g-, and
802 .11b-compliant devices to join the network .

Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—
in the United Kingdom (and most of Europe), Australia, and most of Asia,
there are 13 . In other countries, there are other channel requirements .
Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the
country in which you reside . The channel can be changed if needed . If
there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other
wireless networks .
extension Channel
The IEEE 802 .11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary
channel to double the bandwidth (see the “Using the Bandwidth Switch”
section on the next page) . An appropriate extension channel will be
displayed when operating in 40MHz mode (see the “Using the Wireless
Mode Switch” section below) . The channel can be changed if necessary .
Using the Wireless Mode switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes . There are
several modes .
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled .
