Options available are 40 MHZ, 20 MHz and 40/20 MHz
Control Sideband
There are two sidebands upper and lower bands. The lower band comprises of
channel numbers 1-7. The upper band comprises of channel numbers 5-11.
Channel Number
A channel is the radio frequency used by 802.11b/g/n wireless devices. There
are 11 channels (from 1 to 11) available depending on the geographical area.
When You may have a choice of channels (for your region) you should use a
different channel from an adjacent AP to reduce the interference and degrading
performance occurs when radio signal from different APs overlap. Choose a
channel from the drop-down list box.

DoS
Denial-of-Service Attack (DoS attack) is a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network
to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic.
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended
users. One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications
requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively
unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload.
In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or
consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the
communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate
adequately.
Enable DoS Prevention to detect and prevent denial of service attacks through automatic rate filtering or rules
to protect legitimate users during the DoS attacks.
Click DoS in the left pane, and the page shown in the following figure appears. In this page, you can prevent
DoS attacks.
