SSID

SSID is the network name assigned to the Extender’s wireless network. The factory default setting is “Actiontec.” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default value intact, the ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanu- meric characters (i.e., A-Z, a-z, 0-9). All wireless-capable computers included on the Extender’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value.

Hide SSID Broadcast

Select this check box to disable SSID broadcast. If deactivated, the SSID of the Extender’s wireless network is available to any wireless device.

Wireless Mode

From this drop-down list, select the speed of the wireless network. Options include 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11 Super G static, and 802.11 Super G dynamic.

Channel

Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Extender communicates. In the United States, use channels 1-11, or select Smart Select, which automatically selects a minimally used channel. (The factory default value is set to Smart Select.)

Wireless Security

Clicking Wireless Security on the left side of any Interface screen causes the “Wireless Security” screen to appear. Here, the Extender’s wireless network security settings can be configured.
