•Turn Radio On. On by default, you can also turn off the radio to disable access through this device. This can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting activities.

•Wireless Network Name (SSID). Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set ID in this field; the characters are case sensitive. When the wireless access point is deployed in “infrastructure” mode, the SSID assigned to a wireless device must match the wireless access point SSID in order for the wireless device to communicate with the WN802T. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the WN802T. The default is

NETGEAR.

•Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If Enabled, the Wireless Access Point broadcasts its SSID allowing Wireless Stations which have a “null” (blank) SSID to adopt the correct SSID. If set to disable, the SSID is not broadcast. The default is Enabled.

•Wireless Mode. From the pull-down menu, select the desired wireless operating mode:
