Basic Wireless Settings

Configure the Access Point using the available settings.

Mode. Select Mixed and both Wireless-G and Wireless-B computers will be allowed on the network, but the speed will be reduced. Select G-Only for maximum speed with Wireless-G products only. The final selection, B-Only, allows only Wireless-B products on the network. To disable wireless performance, select Disabled.

Network Name (SSID). Enter the name of the Access Point’s wireless network.

Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided; this will be the channel that all of your wireless devices will use.

SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the SSID to be broadcast by the Access Point. You may want to enable this function while configuring your network, but make sure that you disable it when you are finished. With this enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID information with site survey software and gain unauthorized access to your main network. Click Enabled to broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range. Click Disabled to increase network security and block the SSID from being seen on networked PCs.
