Access Point
Basic
Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Wireless Network
This section outlines the available features to configure for both wireless 2.4Ghz and
5GHz when Access Point mode is selected.
1. Log into your management page (see “Access the management page” on page 13).
2. Click on the wireless band you would like to configure and click Wireless Network.
3. Configure the below settings and click Apply to save settings.
4. Click on Save/Reload button located on the top left section to apply settings.
Wireless Mode: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access
Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance
slightly by choosing the appropriate mode. If you have some devices that use a
different transmission mode, choose the appropriate mode.
2.4GHz Wireless
o B/G/N mixed: Select this mode for the best compatibility. This mode allows older
802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices to connect to the access point in addition
to newer 802.11n devices.
o B/G mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slow 802.11b or 802.11g technology and it thereby reduces the router’s
maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not recommended).
o N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your access
point. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for your network,
however, if you have older 802.11g wireless clients, they will no longer be able to
connect to this router.
o G only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using older
and slower 802.11g technology (typically not recommended).
o B only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using older
and slower 802.11b technology (typically not recommended).
Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest
wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are
unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (B/G/N mixed) for the
best compatibility.
5GHz Wireless
o A only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using older
and slower 802.11a technology (typically not recommended).
o A/N mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slower 802.11a or 802.11n technology and it thereby reduces the
access point’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not recommended).
o N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your access
point. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for your network,
however, if you have older 802.11a wireless clients, they will no longer be able to
connect to this router.
