2. Configure the Wireless LAN settings based on the following field descriptions:
• Wireless Mode . Select the desired wireless operating mode. The default is 11ng. The
options are:
– 11b – All 802.11b wireless stations can be used. (The 802.11g wireless stations can
still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode.)
– 11bg – Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations can be supported.
– 11ng – All 11b, 11g, and 11ng wireless stations can be used. This is the default. If you
select this option, then two additional options, Channel Width and Guard Interval, are
displayed.
• Turn Radio On . On by default, you can also turn off the radio to disable access through
this device. This can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting
activities.
• Wireless Network Name (SSID). This is the name of your wireless network. It is set to
ARADA_11g for 802.11b/bg/ng.
• Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network
“discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but
the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers. Default is enabled.
• Channel/Frequency . From the pull-down menu, select the channel you wish to use on
your wireless LAN. The wireless channel in use will be between 1 to 11 for US and
Canada, 1 to 13 for Europe and Australia. The default is channel Auto.
It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this happen,
you may need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. Alternatively,
you can select the Auto channel option for the AP to intelligently pick the channel with
least interference. When selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in mind:
– Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel used. This allows you to
choose a channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the
USA and Canada, 11 channels are available
Note: If you select one of these option and if other settings on this screen are
disabled, then you must select the Turn Radio On radio button to
enable available options on this screen.
