other channel requirements. Your Modem is configured to operate on the proper

channels for the country you reside in. If you don’t know which channel does

your country use, you can select “Enable Auto Channel Scan”, let the router

help you automatically select channel, this function is default to be active.

The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks

operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that

is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a

channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For

instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to

channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-

down list. Click “Apply”. The change is immediate.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch

Your Modem can operate in three different wireless modes: “b and g”, “n only”,

and “b,g and n”.

b,g and n Mode

In this mode, the Modem is

compatible with 802.11b,g and

n wireless clients

simultaneously. This is the

factory default mode and

ensures successful operation

with all Wi-Fi compatible

devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b,g and n clients in your network, we

recommend setting the Modem to 802.11b,g and n mode. This setting should

only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.

b and g Mode

b and g mode works with 802.11b,g clients only, not 802.11n clients. This

mode is recommended only if your clients do not support 802.11n mode.To

switch modes, select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down

box. Then, click “Apply Changes”.

n only Mode

n only mode works with 802.11n clients only. This mode is recommended only

if you want to prevent 802.11b and g clients from accessing your network.

When to use b and g Mode

In some cases, older 802.11b,g clients may not be compatible with 802.11n

wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers
