Wireless Settings Screen Fields

Wireless Network

The primary network is the one that you usually use. You can set up guest networks too. You can customize access so that people who use their computers to access your guest network can use the Internet, but they do not have access to the rest of your home network.

•Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the modem router to broadcast its SSID so that a wireless station can display this wireless name (SSID) in its scanned network list. This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box and click Apply.

•Enable Wireless Isolation. When this check box is selected, wireless stations cannot communicate with each other or with stations on the wired network. By default, this check box is not selected.

•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 for your primary network is randomly generated, and there is typically no need to change it. If you want to set up guest networks, NETGEAR does recommend that you customize the default guest network names (SSIDs).

•Region. The location where the modem router is used. It might not be legal to operate the modem router in a region other than the regions listed.

•Channel. The wireless channel used by the gateway: 1 through 13. Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.

•Mode. Up to 150 Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. Up to 65 Mbps supports up to 65 Mbps.

Security Options Settings

The Security Options section of the Wireless Settings screen lets you change the security option and passphrase. The primary network for your preset modem router is already set up with WPA2 and WPA security. NETGEAR recommends that you set up wireless security for each guest network that you plan to use.
