Wireless > Basic Setting
This page lets you configure the Wireless settings of the Router. There are 2 sections: Radio and
Security.
Enable Wireless: Tick to enable wireless function. With this function, laptop with cardbus or in-
built wireless function can access the Router wirelessly.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wireless LAN.
This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point when multiple Access
Points (or Wireless Routers) operate in the same location.
Channel: The radio channel number. You can select channel 1 to 11 or use SmartSelect, where
the Router will select the cleanest channel to use upon booting up. The number of channels
varies according to countries.
SSID Suppressed: When SSID is suppressed, the router will not broadcast the SSID.
Unwelcome PCs will not be able to scan for the SSID of this Router, and they can only associate
if they know exactly what is the SSID.
Wireless Mode: You can choose to operate the Router in 802.11g or 802.11b mode. The data
rate for 802.11g is 54Mbps while the data rate for 802.11b is 11Mbps. 802.11g is backward
compatible with 802.11b.
You will be able to select Dynamic Turbo or Static Turbo Mode. Turbo mode operates in
108Mbps. For Dynamic Turbo, it can operates in the data rate of 108Mbps & below. In Static
Turbo, it can only operates in the data rate of 108Mbps. But throughput would be reduced if there
are many interferences using Turbo mode operation.
Security Mode: This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome
parties from reading your traffic. You must Enable the Security Mode before choosing the type of
wireless security.
