In the example above, the 5 GHz wireless network was renamed BronzeEagle5GHz. c. Channel Width-We recommend that you keep the default (Auto) settings. In Auto mode, the router and the network clients automatically switch to the 40 MHz mode if: Setting Up: Advanced •• Your wireless clients support the 40 MHz mode (sometimes called Bonded mode) in which two 20 MHz channels are bonded together for better performance. •• There is no adjacent interference. With more available channels and less chance of interference on the 5 GHz band, you have the option to force the 40MHz mode. On the 5GHz band, you can select: •• Auto (20 MHz or 40 Mhz) •• 20 MHz Only •• 40 MHz Only On the 2.4 GHz band, you can select: •• Auto (20 MHz or 40Mhz) •• 20 MHz Only d.

We recommend keeping the default settings for both bands. e. SSID Broadcast-When wireless clients look for wireless networks to connect to, they detect the SSID (wireless network name) broadcast by the router. To broadcast your router's SSID, keep the default setting (Enabled). If you do not want to broadcast the router's SSID, select Disabled. We recommend keeping the default setting (Enabled) for both bands. 4. To apply your changes, click Save Settings at the bottom of the screen. 25
