This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a devices to join the selected WiFi network in the 5 GHz band of the network but limits 802.11ac and 802.11n devices to functioning at up to 173 Mbps. • Up to 300 Mbps. Neighbor-friendly mode for reduced interference with neighboring WiFi networks. This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a devices to join the selected WiFi network in the 5 GHz band of the network but limits 802.11ac devices to functioning at up to 400 Mbps. • Up to 650 Mbps. Performance mode. This mode allows 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a devices to join the selected WiFi network in the 5 GHz band of the network and allows 802.11ac devices to function at up to 867 Mbps. This mode is the default mode. Enable SSID Broadcast By default, for an SSID in the 5 GHz band, the router broadcasts the SSID so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn off an SSID broadcast, clear the appropriate Enable SSID Broadcast check box. Turning off an SSID broadcast provides additional WiFi security, but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the router. Manage the Basic WiFi Network 57 Settings User Manual
