11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the
Wireless Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission
rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.
◆ Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the Wireless
Broadband Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When
multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel
on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three
access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that
wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used
by the Wireless Broadband Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto
Select enables the Wireless Broadband Router to automatically select
an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
