Access Point Mode
These instructions apply to both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
The router by default is already configured in Access Point Mode. For optimum connectivity to a number of different wireless client
devices, it’s recommended that you keep the router in its default wireless settings. You can choose to have the router associate
only with certain iterations (IEEE standards) and by doing so this will either positively or negatively affect the router’s speed and
throughput performance.
Band

options:
2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b)
2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11n)
