of the wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all points of the wireless

802.11 Mode: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if
you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it is
recommended to select 802.11g only instead of 2.4 GHz B+G which will reduce the
performance of the wireless network. You may also select Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and
802.11b. If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect
in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the
appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission
mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
Wireless Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available
are based on the country’s regulation. A wireless network uses specific channels in the
wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your
area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel
to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.
Transmission Rate: Select a transmission rate from the drop-down list. It is
recommended to use the Best (automatic) option.
Channel Width: Select a channel width from the drop-down list.
