Settings

Description

 

 

 

Mode

Specify which 802.11 data communications protocol is used. You can select one

 

of the following modes:

 

 

Up to 270 Mbps. Performance mode, using channel expansion to achieve the

 

270 Mbps data rate. The Wireless-N Modem Router uses the channel you

 

 

selected as the primary channel and expands to the secondary channel

 

 

(primary channel +4 or –4) to achieve a 40 MHz frame-by-frame bandwidth.

 

The Wireless-N Modem Router detects channel usage and disables frame-by-

 

frame expansion if the expansion would result in interference with the data

 

 

transmission of other access points or clients.

 

 

Up to 130 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.

 

 

g & b allows older 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations to access this

 

 

wireless network. You might use this mode for a wireless computer using WEP

 

security that does not support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.

 

 

g only allows only 802.11g wireless stations to access the wireless network.

Channel

The wireless channel fields determine the operating frequency used for the

 

 

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.

 

 

Enable Wireless Access

• Selected by default, this check box enables the wireless radio, which allows

Point

the modem router to work as a wireless access point.

 

 

• Turning off the wireless radio can be helpful for configuration, network tuning,

 

or troubleshooting.

 

 

• The Wireless LED on the front of the modem router displays the current status

 

of the wireless access point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. The

 

 

wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access the

 

Internet.

 

 

 

Allow Broadcast of Name

Selected by default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID. This makes it easier

(SSID).

to select the right wireless network to connect to.

 

 

If you clear this check mark and click Apply, your network name will be hidden.

 

The first time a wireless device connects to it, the SSID must be typed in.

 

 

 

Wireless Isolation

This feature is disabled by default. If you select this check box, then the only way

 

to connect to the modem router will be via cable on the LAN.

 

 

 

 

Wireless Station Access

This is disabled by default so that any computer configured with the correct

 

List

wireless network name or SSID can access to your wireless network. For

 

 

increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only

 

 

specific computers based on their MAC addresses. See “Restricting access by

 

MAC address.”
