Enable Wireless Networking
Allows you to enable/disable the wireless section of your LAN. When disabled, no wireless PCs can gain access to either the Internet or other PCs on your Wired or Wireless LAN through this Gateway.
Channel Selection
The Channel Selector allows you to specify which Channel the Gateway will transmit and receive on. If another access point or gateway nearby is using the same Channel as you, there will be a reduction in the performance of your network. If this seems to be the case, you should select a different channel number. Usually the Wireless computers will scan to find the correct channel, but if they don't you must configure them to use the same Channel number as the Gateway.
