Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Table 30 Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > General (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Channel Selection Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency band and the country you are in. Auto Channel Selection Operating Channel Channel Width Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled. Select this check box for the NBG6616 to automatically choose the channel with the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel using the Channel Selection field. This displays the channel the NBG6616 is currently using. Select the wireless channel width used by NBG6616. A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps (5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ). Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG6616 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically. 40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. 802.11 Mode Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. If you are in the Wireless LAN 2.4G > General screen, you can select from the following: • 802.11b: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at the data rates supported by IEEE 802.11b. • 802.11g: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device. IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the NBG6616 only when they use the short preamble type. • 802.11bg: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. The NBG6616 adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices. • 802.11n: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. This can increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g clients will not be able to connect to the NBG6616. • 802.11gn: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might be reduced. • 802.11 bgn: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might be reduced. If you are in the Wireless LAN 5G > General screen, you can select from the following: • 802.11a: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. • 802.11an: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might be reduced. NBG6616 User's Guide 90

Channel Selection

Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the

frequency band and the country you are in.

Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This option is

only available if

Auto Channel Selection

is disabled.

Auto Channel

Selection

Select this check box for the NBG6616 to automatically choose the channel with the least

interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel using the

Channel Selection

field.

Operating

Channel

This displays the channel the NBG6616 is currently using.

Channel Width

Select the wireless channel width used by NBG6616.

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps

(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to

300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ).

Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select

Auto 20/40MHz

to allow the

NBG6616 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.

40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20

MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

Select

20MHz

if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your

neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

802.11 Mode

If you are in the

Wireless LAN 2.4G > General

screen, you can select from the

following:

•

802.11b

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the NBG6616. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at

the data rates supported by IEEE 802.11b.

•

802.11g

: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device.

IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the NBG6616 only when

they use the short preamble type.

•

802.11bg

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the NBG6616. The NBG6616 adjusts the transmission rate

automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.

•

802.11n

: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the

NBG6616. This can increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE

802.11g clients will not be able to connect to the NBG6616.

•

802.11gn

: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might be

reduced.

•

802.11 bgn

: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN

devices to associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might

be reduced.

If you are in the

Wireless LAN 5G > General

screen, you can select from the following:

•

802.11a

: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the

NBG6616.

•

802.11an

: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the NBG6616. The transmission rate of your NBG6616 might be

reduced.
