You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the wireless router by clearing this check box. Select this check box again to enable the wireless portion of the router. When the wireless radio is disabled, other members of your household can use the router by connecting their computers to the router with an Ethernet cable. Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence. This is for the 2.4 GHz band only. The 20/40 MHz coexistence function is enabled by default, which is required for Wi-Fi certification. CENTRIA can run in either 40 MHz mode or 20 MHz mode. When this check box is selected, CENTRIA runs in 40 MHz mode unless there is another nearby WiFi network in the area already running in 40 MHz mode. If that happens, CENTRIA runs in 20 MHz mode to coexist with that network. If you want CENTRIA to always run in 40 MHz mode, clear this check box and click Apply. Note: The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings. Advanced Settings 99
