Page 46 highlights

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface QoS (Quality of Service) Configuration QoS prioritizes important data on your network such as multimedia content and Voice over IP (VoIP) so it will not be interfered with by other data being sent over the network. Based on 802.11e, you can turn this feature on or off by selecting it from the drop-down menu and choosing the acknowledgement mode you want to use. If you plan to stream multimedia content or use VoIP on your network, we recommend that you enable the QoS feature. Changing the Wireless Channel There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United States, there are 11 channels. In Australia, the United Kingdom, and most of Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels for the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country that does not allow channel 11). 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. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click "Apply Changes". The change is immediate. 42

content and Voice over IP (VoIP) so it will not be interfered with by other
data being sent over the network. Based on 802.11e, you can turn this
feature on or off by selecting it from the drop-down menu and choosing

Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the
United States, there are 11 channels. In Australia, the United Kingdom,
and most of Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other
countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is configured
to operate on the proper channels for the country you reside in. The
default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country that does not allow
channel 11). 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.
For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away
from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is
operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below.
To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click
“Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.
