Enable Wireless Networking
Use this check box to enable or disable the wireless section of your LAN.
When disabled, no wireless PCs can gain access to either the Internet or
other PCs on your Wired or Wireless LAN through this Router.
Channel Selection
Select a number from the drop-down list to specify which Channel the
Router will transmit and receive on. If another access point or Router
nearby is using the same Channel as you, there will be a reduction in the
performance of your network. If this seems to be the case, you should
select a different channel number. Usually the Wireless computers will
scan to find the correct channel, but if they don't you must configure
them to use the same Channel number as the Router.
Choose the Clear Channel Select option to automatically choose the
clearest channel. The Router will check for the clearest channel whenever
it is rebooted, powered up, and when the
Clear Channel Select option is
first applied.
Valid channels are country dependent. See “Channels” on page 139 for
a list of channels approved by each country.
