Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834
Warning: The Wireless Router is already configured with the optimum settings. Do not alter these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support. Incorrect settings may disable the Wireless Router unexpectedly.
Program the advanced wireless settings as follows:
•Enable Wireless Router Radio—the Wireless Router Radio of this router can be enabled or disabled to allow wireless access. The wireless icon on the front of the router displays the current status of the Wireless Router Radio to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. If enabled, wireless stations will be able to access the Internet. If disabled, wireless stations will not be able to access the Internet.
•Enable SSID Broadcast—if enabled, the Wireless Router SSID will broadcast its name (SSID) to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
•Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, Preamble Mode—these settings are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
•Wireless Card Access List—by default, any wireless computer that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only allow specific computers based on their MAC addresses.
