This enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless
specification developed to allow implementation of
wireless networks in countries that cannot use the
802.11 standard. This feature should only be enabled
if you are in a country that requires it.
WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will
improve the quality of video and voice applications
for your wireless clients.
Enable this option to reduce interference from
other wireless networks in your area. If the channel
width is operating at 40 MHz and there is another
wireless network’s channel over-lapping and causing
interference, the router will automatically change to
20 MHz.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “initial setup” as well
as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufacturers.
The process is just as easy as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the PIN
Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless security setting of
WPA2 is automatically used.

Section 3 - Configuration
This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the
PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a
configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router
within 120 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar
only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the
device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.
