Note:

(1). When the main or primary channel is set to 1, channel 5 will be

used as the extension channel. If the main channel is set to 9,

channel 5, or channel 13 can be used as the extension channel.

(2). The availability of some specific channels and/or operational

frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware

programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The

firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Channel

The radio channel used by the wireless router and

its clients to communicate with each other. This

channel must be the same on the router and all of

its wireless clients.

The router will automatically assign itself a radio

channel, or you may select one manually.

Bandwidth

Select the bandwidth:

•20 MHz: Sets the operation bandwidth as 20 MHz.

when 20 MHz is selected, there would be no

extension channel available.

•20/40 MHz: Allows automatic detection of the

operation bandwidth between 20 and 40 MHz.

Choosing this mode allows you to use the

extension channel.

Extension Channel

This is the optional channel for use. Setting the

Bandwith to 20/40 MHz allows you to use this

extension channel as the secondary channel for

doubling the bandwith of your wireless network.
