Wireless Network Name

When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name.

Visibility Status

The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.

Auto Channel Select

If you select this option, the router automatically finds the channel with least interference and uses that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the router uses the channel that you specify with the following Channel option.

Channel

A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.

Transmission Rate

By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary.

802.11Mode

If all of your devices can connect in 802.11g Mode, you can change the mode to 802.11g only. If you have some devices that are 802.11b, leave the setting at Mixed.

Super G™ Mode

Super G Turbo Modes must use channel 6 for communication. For Super G with Static Turbo, 802.11g Mode must be set to 802.11g. For proper operation, RTS threshold and Fragmentation Threshold on the Advanced -> Advanced Wireless screen should both be set to their default values.

Super G without Turbo: Performance enhancing features such as Packet Bursting, Fast Frames, and Compression.

Super G with Static Turbo: This mode is not backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy) devices. This mode should only be enabled when all devices on the wireless network are Static Turbo enabled.

Super G with Dynamic Turbo: This mode is backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy) devices. This mode should be enabled when some devices on the wireless network are not Turbo enabled but support other Super G features mentioned above.
