Network

one of three guest networks that you can set up. For help with guest networks, see “The

 

settings that you configured in Step 2 are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can

 

connect to the router.” on page 22.

 

 

 

 

Name (SSID)

The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a

 

 

32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is

 

 

case-sensitive.

 

 

When there is more than one wireless network, SSIDs provide a

 

 

means for separating the traffic. To join a network, a wireless

 

 

computer or device must use the SSID.

 

 

 

 

Region

The location where the Router is used.

 

 

 

 

Channel

The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default is Auto.

 

 

Do not change the channel unless you experience interference

 

 

(shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens,

 

 

you might need to try different channels to see which works best.

 

 

 

 

Mode

The default is up to 145 Mbps.
