2.Enter the wireless network name (SSID) for the wireless network. It is set by default to NETGEAR_11ng.

3.Select Yes or No to enable or disable the broadcast wireless network name (SSID). It is enabled by default. If the name is broadcast, it can be easily detected by clients.

4.From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select the network authentication type you want to use for this profile.

5.Select the data encryption strength from the drop-down list.
