Wireless Setting
Network
. 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-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
Disable
.
Wireless Name (SSID)
. The SSID is the network 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.
Radio Band
. For best performance in a network using Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the
default,
Wide - 40MHz Channel
. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking only, select
Standard - 20MHz
Channel
. If you are not sure which radio band to select, keep the default,
Auto
.
Wide Channel
. If you selected Wide - 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be
available for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any channel from the drop-down menu.
Standard Channel
. Select the channel for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected
Wide – 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel for
Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select, keep the default,
Auto
.
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
Disable
.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click
SAVE SETTINGS
to save the changes, or click
CANCEL CHANGES
to clear all fields and start over.
NOTE:
If you select Wide - 40MHz Channel for the
Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use two
channels: a primary one (Wide Channel) and a
secondary one (Standard Channel). This will
enhance Wireless-N performance.
