 11bg mixed - Select if you are using both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients.
 11bgn mixed - Select if you are using a mix of 802.11b, 11g, and 11n wireless clients.
It is strongly recommended that you set the Mode to 802.11bgn mixed, and all of
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless stations can connect to the router.
 Channel Width - Select the channel width from the drop-down list, including Auto,
20MHz, 40MHz
. The default setting is Auto.

Note:
If 11bg mixed is selected in the Mode field, the Channel Width selecting field will turn grey
and the value will become 20MHz, which is unable to be changed.
 Channel - This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to Auto, so the router will choose the best channel automatically. It is not
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point.
 Enable SSID Broadcast - When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks
to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the router. If you select the Enable
SSID Broadcast checkbox, the Wireless router will broadcast its name (SSID) on the air.
 Enable WDS Bridging - Check this box to enable WDS. With this function, the router can
bridge two or more WLANs. If this checkbox is selected, you will have to set the following
parameters as shown in Figure 5-15. Make sure the following settings are correct.
