N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2

The settings for this screen are explained in the following table.

Settings Description

Name (11N SSID)

Name (11G SSID)

This is the wireless network name. Enter a 32-charac

ter (maximum) name in this

field. This field is case-sensitive.

In a setting where there is more than o

ne wireless network, different wireless

network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device that you

want to participate in a wireless network needs to use the SSID.

Region The location where the N300 Wireless Modem Router is used.

Mode Specify which 802.11 data communications protocol

is used. You can select one

of the following modes:

• U

p to 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. Performance mode, using channel expansion to

achieve the 270 Mbps data rate. The N300 wireless modem router uses the

channel you selected as the primary channel and expands to the secondary

channel (primary channel +4 or –4) to achieve a 40 MHz frame-by-frame

bandwidth. The N300 wireless modem router detects channel usage and

disables frame-by-frame expansion if the expansion would result in

interference with the data transmission of other access points or clients.

• Up

to 300 Mbps at 5 GHz and 54 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. This is the default mode,

which is recommended.

• Up to

145 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. Neighbor friendly mode, for reduced interference

with neighboring wireless networks. Provides two transmission streams with

different data on the same channel at the same time, but also allows 802.11b

and 802.11g wireless devices.

• Up to

145 Mbps at 5 GHz and 54 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. Legacy mode, for

compatibility with the slower 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices.

11N Channel

11G Channel

The wireless channel fields determine the operating frequency used for the 11N

or 1

1G wireless networks. Do not change the wireless channel unless you

experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If

this happens, you might need to experiment with different channels to see which

is the best.
