Region Selection

 

The location where the router is used. Select from the countries in

 

 

the drop-down list. Note: In the US, the region is pre-selected as

 

 

the United States.

 

 

 

Wireless Network

Enable SSID

The SSID of any wireless access adapter must match the SSID

(for 2.4 GHz b/g/n

Broadcast

you configure in the wireless router. If they do not match, you will

and

 

not get a wireless connection to the wireless router.

5 GHz a/n)

 

Clear this check box to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that only

 

 

devices that know the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID

 

 

broadcast nullifies the wireless network discovery feature of some

 

 

products such as Windows XP.

 

 

 

 

Name (SSID)

This is the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character

 

 

(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive.

 

 

In a setting where there is more than one wireless network,

 

 

different wireless network names provide a means for separating

 

 

the traffic. Any device that you want to participate in a wireless

 

 

network must use the SSID.

 

 

 

 

Channel

The wireless channel fields determine the operating frequency

 

 

used for the 11N or 11G wireless networks. Do not change the

 

 

wireless channel unless you experience interference (shown by

 

 

lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, you might

 

 

need to experiment with different channels to see which is the

 

 

best.

 

 

 

 

Mode

Specify the wireless mode to be used. The options are:

 

 

• Up to 54 Mbps. Legacy mode, using a maximum speed of up to

 

 

54 Mbps for b/g networks.

 

 

• Up to 145 Mbps. Neighbor friendly mode, for reduced

 

 

interference with neighboring wireless networks. Provides two

 

 

transmission streams with different data on the same channel at

 

 

the same time, but also allows 802.11b and 802.11g wireless

 

 

devices. This is the default value for the 2.4 GHz b/g/n wireless

 

 

network.

 

 

• Up to 300 Mbps. Performance mode, using a maximum

 

 

Wireless-N speed of up to 300 Mbps. This is the default value for

 

 

the 5 GHz a/n wireless network.
