D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router

Wireless Network

Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and
5-GHz ac/a/n bands.
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or
access Ethernet devices on the network.
Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the WiFi DSL modem router to broadcast its
SSID so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists.
This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID
Broadcast check box, and click Apply.
Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character
(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly
generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.
Channel. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1
through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be
operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (when indicated by
lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference happens, experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
Mode. Up to 1300 Mbps is the default setting for the 5G band while connected with 3x3
802.11ac devices. This setting allows 802.11ac/a/n wireless devices to join the network. Up to
300 Mbps is the default setting for the 2.4G band while connected with 2x2/3x3 802.11n
devices. This setting allows 802.11b/g/n devices to join the network. 802.11g & b supports up
to 54 Mbps.

Security Options Settings

Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and 5-GHz a/n
bands.
The Security Options section of the Wireless Setup screen lets you change the security
option and passphrase. NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the security
option or passphrase, but if you want to change these settings, this section explains how.
Do not disable security.
