NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual • Region. This field identifies the region where the WNR834B can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those identified in this field. Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries. • Channel. This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless network. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies, see "Wireless Communications" in Appendix B. • Mode. This field determines which data communications protocol is used. You can choose from: - Up To 54 Mbps. Legacy Mode, for compatibility with the slower 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices. - Up To 130 Mbps. Neighbor Friendly Mode, for reduced interference with neighboring wireless networks. Provides two transmission streams with different data on the same channel at the same time, but also allows 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices. This is the default mode. - Up To 270 Mbps. Performance Mode, using channel expansion to achieve the 270 Mbps data rate. The WNR834B router will use the channel you selected as the primary channel and expand to the secondary channel (primary channel +4 or -4) to achieve a 40MHz frame-by-frame bandwidth. The WNR834B router will detect channel usage and will disable frame-by-frame expansion if the expansion would result in interference with the data transmission of other access points or clients. Note: The maximum wireless signal rate is derived from the IEEE Standard 802.11 Specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. • Security Options. The selection of wireless security options can significantly affect your network performance. The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and router placement. 1-12 v2.1, July 2007 Configuring Basic Connectivity
