AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries User’s Guide

This section discusses wireless LANs in depth. For more information, see the appendix.

Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges. 

• A wireless client is a radio connected to a user’s computer. 
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with 

numerous wireless clients and let them access the network. 

• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and wireless clients, 

extending a network’s range. 

Traditionally, a wireless network operates in one of two ways.

802.11 Mode

Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate 
with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate 
with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Select 802.11b+g to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN 
devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of your 
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.

Select 802.11n to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the 
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Select 802.11g+n to allow either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN 
devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of your 
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.

Select 802.11b+g+n to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant 
WLAN devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of 
your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.

Channel Width

Select whether the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz 
or Auto. If Auto is selected, the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries will use 40MHz if it is 
supported.

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz 
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. 

40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase 
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 
MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. 

Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your 
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

This field is available only when you set the 802.11 Mode to 802.11n or 802.11b+g+n 
in the Advanced Setup screen.
