Manually Configuring your Router

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: “54G-Auto”, “54G-Only”, and “54G-LRS”. The different modes are explained below.

•54G-Auto – In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This mode is the factory default and ensures full compatibility with Wi-Fi-compatible devices. Set the Router to Mixed mode if you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network. This is the recommended setting for your Router and should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.

•54G-Only – 54g Only mode is compatible with 802.11g clients only. This mode can be useful only if you do not have any 802.11b clients that need access to the network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the drop-down box next to “Wireless Mode” then click “Apply Changes”.
