Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface Using the Bandwidth Switch This switch allows you to set the Router's wireless bandwidth modes. There are several modes available: 1) 20MHz only Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This mode is compatible with N1, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant devices, but will limit N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices' bandwidth by half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might solve some wireless problems. 2) 40MHz only Setting the Router to this mode allows only 40MHz operation. This mode is compatible only with N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices. It may affect legacy 802.11b/g devices. Use only when you have a pure N1, draft 802.11n wireless network. 3) 20MHz/40MHz Auto Setting the Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically between 20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz operation, to maximize speed for N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices when conditions permit. When a legacy 802.11g access point is presented and occupies an adjacent secondary channel, the Router automatically reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize compatibility. We recommend using this as the default mode. 44

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Using the Bandwidth Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless bandwidth modes.
There are several modes available:
1)
20MHz only
Setting the Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation. This
mode is compatible with N1, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and
802.11b-compliant devices, but will limit N1, draft 802.11n-compliant
devices’ bandwidth by half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only
operation might solve some wireless problems.
2)
40MHz only
Setting the Router to this mode allows only 40MHz operation. This
mode is compatible only with N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices.
It may affect legacy 802.11b/g devices. Use only when you have a
pure N1, draft 802.11n wireless network.
3)
20MHz/40MHz Auto
Setting the Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically
between 20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz
operation, to maximize speed for N1, draft 802.11n-compliant
devices when conditions permit. When a legacy 802.11g access
point is presented and occupies an adjacent secondary channel,
the Router automatically reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize
compatibility. We recommend using this as the default mode.
