Wireless Network Mode
From this drop-down menu,
you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B
devices in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed.
If you have only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your
network, select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N
devices, select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G
devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-
B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any
wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
name shared among all points in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Wireless Channel
Select the channel from the list
provided to correspond with your network settings. All
devices in your wireless network must be broadcast on
the same channel in order to function correctly.
Wireless SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast
the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select
Disabled.
