Wireless
This page lets you configure the Wireless settings.
There are 3 sections: Radio, Security, Advanced.
Radio Settings
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.
Hide SSID
: When this is ticked, 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.
Turbo Mode:
When this mode is enabled, the Router would communicate with the CardBus at
108Mbps instead of 54Mbps. Turbo mode MUST also be enabled on the CardBus.

Turbo setting comes with some limitations. In Turbo mode,
All the devices automatically use Channel 6. Therefore, implementing
multiple cells is not possible with Turbo mode.
The network is more sensitive to interference. Wireless Access Points
operating nearby, regardless of channel, can cause interference to the
Turbo network.
