Section 6 - Wireless Settings Radio Settings Path: Wireless > General > Radio Settings You may configure the channels and power levels available for the AP's enabled on the router.The router has a dual band 802.11n radio, meaning either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency of operation can be selected (not concurrently though). Based on the selected operating frequency, the mode selection will let you define whether legacy connections or only 802.11n connections (or both) are accepted on configured APs. The ratified 802.11n support on this radio requires selecting the appropriate broadcast mode, and then defining the channel spacing and control side band for 802.11n traffic. The default settings are appropriate for most networks. For example, changing the channel spacing to 40MHz can improve bandwidth at the expense of supporting earlier 802.11n clients. The available transmission channels are governed by regulatory constraints based on the region setting of the router. To configure the radio settings: 1. Click Wireless > General > Radio Settings. 2. Complete the fields in the table below and click Save. Field Description Operating Frequency Select 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
