Wireless Network Settings: Wireless Mode – Sets the wireless mode. Options are: B/G mixed, B only, G only, N only, and B/G/N mixed.
Section 2: Web GUI Screens and Configuration Parameter Reference Note: These older 802.11b devices required the unit to add overhead to most transmissions. For firmware releases prior to 7.5.32C, performance will increase if no 802.11b devices are present and this feature is disabled (OFF). For firmware release 7.5.32C, the unit will auto detect 802.11b devices and set the feature accordingly when the BG protection checkbox is checked (AUTO).
ARRIS Router Setup – Web GUI User’s Guide Channel Bandwidth – Sets the 802.11n Channel Bandwidth. Options are 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz. The default setting is 20 MHz. If your wireless network is in a very clean RF environment setting the Channel Bandwidth to 20/40 will increase your throughput by “bonding” two channels. However, if there are any other wireless routers or access points within range of the device it will stay in 20 MHz bandwidth regardless of this setting. This is a WiFi Alliance requirement.
Section 2: Web GUI Screens and Configuration Parameter Reference 8.3 Wireless Setup – MAC Address Control MAC Address Control allows you to restrict access to your network to only those client devices whose MAC addresses you add to the filter list.
