Note: The region selection feature might not be available in all countries. • Channel. This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless network. The wireless router uses channel bonding technology to extend the bandwidth for data transmission. For more information about the wireless channel frequencies, see the online document that you can access from "Wireless Networking Basics" in Appendix B. • Mode. The default mode is Up to 150Mbps. Note: The maximum wireless signal rate is derived from the IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. The Mode options are: - Up to 54 Mbps - Legacy Mode with maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks. - Up to 65 Mbps - Neighbor Friendly Mode - Will not interfere with neighboring wireless networks.
