802.11n Mode
The 802.11n standard builds upon 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.

a different channel from the default channel, there is
no need to change the channel.
