Extra Wireless Protection
Extra protection for neighboring 11b wireless networks. Turn this option off to reduce the adverse effect of legacy wireless networks on 802.11ng performance. This option is available only when 802.11 Mode is set to an 11n Onlyoption.
(Refer to the Setup → Wireless Settings → Manual Wireless Network Setup page.)


Turn it off
