The above screen shows the default settings for the 802.11a band radio. The key values are:-
SSID
All devices on the same network must have the same SSID string which can be up to 32
characters in length. The default SSID is
Wireless_11a
and for security reasons it is strongly
recommended that the SSID is changed from its default value.

This can be used to configure the access point to use proprietary client devices to achieve fastest
possible throughput. The default value is the standards based
54Mbps
and the proprietary setting
is the “Turbo” 108Mbps.
