Setting Router to N Only?

Post by NGowner »

I'm running a 1043ND as a main router and two 841Ns as wireless bridges/access points. I'd like to restrict all three to the 2.5GHz Wireless N frequency only, and set up a WAP54G I have as an access point for my Wireless G clients.

Is there is a a way to get the three TP Link devices to be N only in the 2.5GHz spectrum?

Any advice?

Just choose the N+G+B setting

The router will always default to the highest connection speed possible
based on its signal strength.

As long as NO OTHER wireless-G clients try to connect to your
Wireless-N WPA2-AES network - it will stay in Wireless-N mode

Once a wireless-G client connects to it, it will drop down to
wireless-G speeds

So just don't configure any clients to use the Wireless-N network
if they are only capable of wireless-G speeds.
