Mode
Select the protocol standard used in the wireless network. With a frequency
band of 2.4GHz, CPE210/CPE220/BS210/OAP210 supports five wireless modes:
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b/g and 802.11b/g/n. You are recommended
to set the 11b/g/n mixed mode, and all of 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless
stations can connect to the device. CPE510/CPE520/BS510 has a frequency band
of 5GHz, supporting 802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11a/n modes. We suggest to set
in 11a/n mode, allowing both 802.11a and 802.11n wireless stations to access
the device.

Channel Width
Select the channel width of this device. Options include 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz
and 20/40MHz (this device automatically selects 20MHz or 40MHz, and 20MHz
will be used if 40MHz is not available). Users select corresponding channel
width according to whether their devices support it. According to IEEE 802.11n
standard, using a channel width of 40MHz can increase wireless throughput.
However, users may choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:

width according to whether their devices support it. According to IEEE 802.11n
standard, using a channel width of 40MHz can increase wireless throughput.
However, users may choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:
1.
Increase the available number of channels within the limited total
bandwidth.
2.
To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices
in the environment.
3.
Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing
stability of wireless links over long distances.
4.
Subject to the channel width of root AP in Client/ Bridge/ Repeater/ Client
Router operation modes.
