Setting up your wireless router
Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
Clicking on the header of the
Wireless
tab will take you to the
Wireless
page. Under the
Wireless
tab, there are links that allow you to make changes to the wireless network
settings.
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, an SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used. The default SSID of
the router is “Dynex”. You can change this to anything you want to or you can leave it
unchanged. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want to
make sure that your SSID is unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the
area). To change the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the
SSID
field and click
Apply Changes
. The change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your
wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new
network name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information
on making this change.
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
Your router can operate in three different wireless modes: “g and b”, “g only”, and “b only”.
The different modes are explained below.
g and b Mode
–In this mode, the router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
clients simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation
with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your
network, we recommend setting the router to g and b mode. This setting should only be
changed if you have a specific reason to do so.
g only Mode
–g only mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended
only if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes,
select the desired mode from the
Wireless Mode
list, then click
Apply Changes
.
b only Mode
–We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific
reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur with some
802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b
standards.
