Field

Description

SSID (Service Set Identifier.)

The SSID is the network name shared among all

 

points in the wireless network. The SSID must be

 

identical for all points in the wireless network. It is

 

case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use

 

any characters on the keyboard).

Hide SSID

The gateway will not broadcast its SSID or the SSID

 

of any device connecting to it. Hiding the SSID

 

makes your wireless network more secure as, unless

 

the wireless user knows the SSID in advance, they

 

cannot connect to the gateway. (Some old wireless

 

LAN cards do not support this function. If necessary

 

contact your wireless card vendor for new firmware.)

Region

Select the region for your location.

Channel

Select an appropriate channel from the list. The

 

default channel is 11. All devices in your wireless

 

network must be set to the same channel.

Operation Mode

There are four operation modes Auto, Super-G,

 

802.11b/g and 802.11b only.

 

When in Auto mode, you can use either Super G

 

wireless network interface cards or regular 802.11g

 

wireless network interface cards connect to the

 

gateway. If all wireless clients are using Super G, the

 

gateway will serve the clients at the maximum speed.
