Security Mode – Select WPA2-PSK from the dropdown.It is recommended that legacy standards such as 802.11a/b/g be disabled to maximize performance if you no longer have or use devices that use these older standards. 802.11 Mode – Select the IEEE 802.11 wireless standard(s) you wish to use.5GHz broadcast uses more non-overlapping channels, use higher channel widths on 5GHz. Because of the limited number of non-overlapping channels on the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum, it is highly recommended that the width be set to 20MHz only for the 2.4GHz broadcast. Channel Width – Select the channel bonding width for the Wi-Fi band.The “Auto Channel Selection” option can be selected to allow the router to automatically choose the best channel to use based on its current environment, or, manually select the channel to use at all times.
