Wireless Channel:

Enable Auto Channel scan:

Enable Hidden Wireless:

The Wireless Network Name is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same wireless network name in order to communicate on the network. If you choose to change the wireless network name from the default setting, input your new wireless network name in this field.

This option is unavailable in Access Point mode.

Auto channel selection is default setting. Input a new number if you want to change.

Select Enable or Disable. Enable this feature to auto-select the channel for best wireless performance.

Select Enable if you do not want the SSID to be broadcast by the DAP-1160. This prevents the SSID from being seen by Site Survey utilities, so any wireless clients will have to be pre-configured with the SSID of the DAP-1160 in order to connect to it.
