d.  Network  mode—Your  choice  depends  upon  the  clients  that  will 
connect to your network. If all of your devices are Wireless-N capable, 
you can select Wireless-N Only for either or both bands.
On the 2.4 GHz band, you can select:
 
Mixed
 
Wireless-B/G Only (not available on the EA6500)
 
Wireless-N Only
 
Wireless-G Only
 
Wireless-B only (not available on the EA6500)
On the 5 GHz band, you can select:
 
Mixed  (default),  which  accepts  connections  from  802.11a  or 
802.11n clients 
 
Wireless-N Only (802.11n only)
 
Wireless-A Only (802.11a only) (not available on the EA6500)
 
Wireless-AC Only (EA6500 only)
e.  Security  mode—You  can  set  up  different  security  options  for  the 
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz networks. If the security mode you select requires 
a  passphrase,  a
 
Passphrase  field  appears,  and  you  must  enter  a 
passphrase. You can select:
 
None (no security)
 
WEP

TIP
Wireless-N networks should use the WP2-Personal security 
mode for best performance.
f.  Channel width—We recommend that you keep the default (Auto) 
setting  for  each  band.  In  Auto  mode,  the  router  and  the  network 
clients automatically switch to the 40 MHz mode if:
 
Your  wireless  clients  support  the  40  MHz  mode  (sometimes 
called Bonded mode) in which two 20 MHz channels are bonded 
together for better performance.
 
There is no adjacent interference.
With more available channels and less chance of interference on the 
5 GHz band, you have the option to force the 40 MHz mode. 
On the 2.4 GHz band, you can select:
 
Auto (20 MHz or 40 Mhz)
 
20 MHz Only 
On the 5 GHz band, you can select:
 
Auto (automatically selects from the options below)
 
20 MHz Only
 
40 MHz Only
 
80 MHz Only (EA6500 only)
g.  Channel—Choose  the  operating  channel  for  each  band.  Your 
router  will  automatically  select  the  channel  with  the  least  amount 
of interference if you leave the default Auto setting. We recommend 
keeping the default settings for both bands.
h.  SSID  broadcast—(not  available  on  the  EA6500)  When  wireless 
clients look for wireless networks to connect to, they detect the SSID 
(wireless  network  name)  broadcast  by  the  router.  In  other  words, 
anyone within range of your network can see your network name. 
To broadcast your router’s SSID, keep the default setting (Enabled). 
If you do not want to broadcast the router’s SSID, deselect the SSID 
broadcast  checkbox.  We  recommend  keeping  the  default  setting 
(Enabled) for both bands.
