Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Wireless

Click an item on the menu to reveal a submenu. Follow the instructions to set up the ASUS Wireless Router. Tips are displayed when you move your cursor over an item.

Advanced

This section allows you to set up additional parameters for the wireless router function. We recommend that you use the default values for all items in this window.

Hide SSID - By default, “No” is selected so that wireless mobile users can see your ASUS Wireless Router’s SSID and join. If “Yes” is selected, your ASUS Wireless Router will not show in site surveys by wireless mobile clients and they will have to manually enter your ASUS Wireless Router’s SSID. If you want to restrict access to “your” ASUS Wireless Router , this is a simple way to do it but for security reasons, don’t forget to change the SSID to something other than “default”.

Data Rate (Mbps) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate. Leave on “Auto” to maximize performance versus distance.

Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients must support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when backward compatibility is needed for some older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of 2Mbps.
