Do this…
• A specific channel. The list of channels is dependent on the
selected country and operation mode.
Note: If there is another wireless network in the vicinity, the two networks
may interfere with one another. To avoid this problem, the networks should
be assigned channels that are at least 25 MHz (5 channels) apart.
Alternatively, you can reduce the transmission power.
This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is
inherited by all VAPs and WDS links.
Channel Width Select the desired channel width:
• Auto (20/40 Mhz). The Safe@Office automatically selects the
channel width: 20Mhz or 40Mhz.
• 20Mhz
Selecting Auto can increase wireless performance, if a 40Mhz channel is
available. However, in some cases it may interfere with other access points
or wireless equipment in the area.
This field is only available in Safe@Office 1000NW.
