802.11n Channel Width (5.2
GHz)
Set high throughput channel width to maximize
performance. Set the channel width to Auto or
20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are

802.11n Mode The 802.11n standard builds on previous 802.11
standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO). MIMO increases data throughput to
improve transfer rate. Select Enabled or Disabled
to set the 802.11n mode of the WiFi adapter.
Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to
802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54
Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2*-AES security
must be selected. No security (None) can be
selected to enable network setup and
troubleshooting.
An administrator can enable or disable support for
high throughput mode to reduce power-
consumption or conflicts with other bands or
compatibility issues.
