NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310
Set up your wireless computers with the same SSID and wireless security settings as
your router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by
DHCP from the router. If there is interference, adjust the channel.
Settings
Description
Wireless
Network
Enable SSID
Broadcast
This setting allows the wireless modem router to broadcast its SSID
so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their
scanned network lists. This check box is selected by default. To turn
off the SSID broadcast, clear the Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)
check box.
Enable Wireless
Isolation
When this check box is selected, wireless clients (computers or
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but
cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network.
Name (SSID)
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is
case-sensitive.
When there is more than one wireless network, SSIDs provide a
means for separating the traffic. To join a network, a wireless
computer or device has to use the SSID.
Region
The location where the router is used.
Channel
The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default is
Auto
.
Do not change the channel unless you experience interference
(shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens,
you might need to try different channels to see which works best.
Mode
The default is
Up to 145 Mbps
.
Security Options
