Wireless
Click this switch to enable
or disable WiFi in this field. When the switch turns blue
, the
function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.
Channel
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency
band and the country you are in.
Use
Auto
to have the WX3401-B0 automatically determine a channel to use.
Bandwidth
Select whether the WX3401-B0 uses a wireless channel width of
20MHz
,
40MHz, 20/40MHz,
20/40/
80MHz
, or
20/40/80/160MHz
.
Note:
20/40/80MHz
and
20/40/80/160MHz
are available if you select the
5GHz
Band;
40MHz
is
available if you select the
2.4GHz
Band.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel
uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless clients
must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where
the environment hinders the wireless signal.

An 80 MHz channel groups
adjacent 40 MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even
higher.
Select
20MHz
if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select
20MHz
or
20/40MHz
to allow the
WX3401-B0 to adjust the channel bandwidth.
Control
Sideband
This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the
Bandwidth
field
to
40MHz
or
20/40MHz
. Set whether the control channel (set in the
Channel
field) should be in
the
Lower
or
Upper
range of channel bands.
Wireless Network Settings
Wireless
Network Name
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.
Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for WiFi.
Max Clients
Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.
Hide SSID
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain
the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
This check box is grayed out if the WPS function is enabled in the
Network Setting

screen.
Multicast
Forwarding
Select this check box to allow the WX3401-B0 to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless
unicast traffic.
