AC1750 WiFi Cable Modem Router In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best. When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce interference. NETGEAR recommends channel spacing between adjacent access points of four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10). 9. To change the mode, select it from the Mode list. Up to 145 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps.

If you used WiFi to connect to the network and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network. 11. Make sure that you can connect with WiFi to the network with its new settings.

Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without wireless security that they discover. • Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings)?
