6.2.1 Basic Wireless Settings

You can configure the router’s basic wireless settings on this screen.

Mode: Choose from Mixed (n/g/b), Mixed (g/b), Wireless-11n Only, Wireless-11g Only, Wireless-11b Only, or Disabled to stop wireless function.

Network Name (SSID): You can change the router’s SSID in this field. The SSID is the name that your router sends out wirelessly. Once you have changed the SSID, your network clients need to re-connect themselves using the new SSID.

Channel: Select the desired channel.

Changing channels is useful when you are experiencing slow, unstable wireless connections, or if you are unable to establish a wireless connection at all.

Your router has 11 channels available (1-11). Start with channel 1 and work your way up. Each time you change channels on the router, restart the wireless computers and then try to connect. If the computers are able to connect, test the channel out for a while and make sure that they hold the connection. Keep changing channels until you find one that gives you a stable connection.

All the network clients need to be using the same channel.

SSID Broadcast: Choose to enable or disable the broadcasting of your SSID.
