¾ SSID - Enter a value of up to 32 characters. The same name of SSID (Service Set
Identification) must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. Considering
your wireless network security, the default SSID is set to be TP-LINK_XXXXXX
(XXXXXX indicates the last unique six numbers of each Router’s MAC address). This
value is case-sensitive. For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.
¾ Region - Select your region from the drop-down list. This field specifies the region
where the wireless function of the Router can be used. It may be illegal to use the
wireless function of the Router in a region other than one of those specified in this field. If
your country or region is not listed, please contact your local government agency for
assistance.
¾ Channel - This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to Auto, so the AP will choose the best channel automatically. It is not
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point.
¾ Mode - This field determines the wireless mode which the Router works on.
¾ Channel Width - Select any channel width from the drop-down list. The default setting
is automatic, which can automatically adjust the channel width for your clients.
¾ Max Tx Rate - You can limit the maximum transmission rate of the Router through this
field.
¾ Disable Security - The wireless security function can be enabled or disabled. If
disabled, the wireless stations will be able to connect the Router without encryption. It is
strongly recommended that you choose one of following options to enable security.
¾ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK - Select WPA based on pre-shared passphrase.
z PSK Password - You can enter ASCII or Hexadecimal characters.
For ASCII, the key can be made up of any numbers from 0 to 9 and any letters from
A to Z, and the length should be between 8 and 63 characters.
For Hexadecimal, the key can be made up of any numbers from 0 to 9 and letters
from A to F, and the length should be between 8 and 64 characters.
Please also note the key is case sensitive, which means that upper and lower case
keys will affect the outcome. It would also be a good idea to write down the key and
all related wireless security settings.
¾ No Change - If you choose this option, wireless security configuration will not change!
These settings are only for basic wireless parameters. For advanced settings, please refer to
