Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834
•Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use this SSID for that network. The WPNT834 default SSID is: NETGEAR.
•Region. This field identifies the region where the WPNT834 can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those identified in this field.
Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries.
•Channel. This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies, see “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.
•Mode. This field determines which data communications protocol is used. You can select “g only”, “b only”, “g and b”, “Up To 126 Mbps”, and “Up To 240 MBps”. The “g only” option dedicates the WPNT834 to communicating with the higher bandwidth 802.11g wireless devices exclusively. “b only” dedicates the WPNT834 to communicating with the higher bandwidth 802.11b wireless devices exclusively. The “g and b” mode provides backward compatibility with the slower 802.11b wireless devices while still enabling 802.11g communications.
•Security Options. These options are the wireless security features you can enable. The table below identifies the various basic wireless security options. A full explanation of these standards is available in “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.
