Configure the Router as an Access Point
•
Wireless
- Enable or disable wireless function as needed.
•
Wireless Network Name
- Enter a string of up to 32 characters. The default SSID is
TP-Link_XXXX (XXXX indicates the last unique four numbers of each router’s MAC
address). It is strongly recommended that you change your network name (SSID). This
value is case-sensitive. For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.
•
Region
- Select your region from the pull-down list. This field specifies the region
where the wireless function of the Router can be used. It may be illegal to use the
wireless function of the Router in a region other than one of those specified in this
filed. If your country or region is not listed, please contact your local government
agency for assistance.
•
Mode
- Select the desired mode. It is strongly recommended that you keep the
default setting
11bgn mixed
, so that all 802.11b/g/n wireless devices can connect to
the router.
Note:
If 11bg mixed mode is selected, the
Channel Width
field will turn gray and the value will become 20M and cannot
be changed.
•
Channel
- This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to
Auto
. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
•
Channel Width
- Select any channel width from the drop-down list. The default setting
is
Auto
, which can automatically adjust the channel width for your clients.
•
Enable SSID Broadcast
- If enabled, the router will broadcast the wireless network
name (SSID).
