The following table describes the labels in this screen. 
HT (High Throughput) Physical Mode
 
- Use the fields below to configure the 802.11 wireless environment of 
your Router. 
Operating 
Mode
Choose this according to the wireless mode(s) used in your network.
Mixed Mode - Select this if the wireless clients in your network use different wireless modes 
(for example, IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.1n modes)
Green Mode - Select this if the wireless clients in your network uses only one type of 
wireless mode (for example, IEEEE 802.11 n only)
Channel 
Bandwidth
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20/40 MHz). 
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your 
neighborhood.
Guard Interval
Select Auto to increase data throughput. However, this may make data transfer more prone 
to errors.
Select Long to prioritize data integrity. This may be because your wireless network is busy 
and congested or the Router is located in an environment prone to radio interference.
Extension 
Channel
This is set to Auto by default. 
If you select 20/40 as your Channel Bandwidth, the extension channel enables the Router 
to get higher data throughput. This also lowers radio interference and traffic.

QoS
Check this to have the Router automatically give a service a priority level according to the 
ToS value in the IP header of packets it sends. WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of 
Service) gives high priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly.
