If you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G and
802.11b devices in your network, then keep the default
setting, Mixed. If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b
devices, select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N
devices, select Wireless-N Only. If you have only
Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have
only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you
want to disable wireless networking, select Disabled.

| Network Name(SSID) |
The SSID is the network name shared among
all devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical
for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive
and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be
any keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for
all devices in your wireless network. For added security, we
recommend you change the default SSID to a unique name of your
choice. |
| Channel Width |
For best performance in a network using
Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, set to Auto
(20MHz or 40MHz). For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking
only, select 20MHz Only(Default). Set this to
Auto (20MHz or 40MHz) for best performance. |
| Channel |
Select the channel for Wireless-N,
Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. Select channels 1-11,
or Auto. If you are not sure which channel to select, keep the
default, Auto. |
| SSID Broadcast |
When wireless clients survey the local
area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect
the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router
SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you do not
want to broadcast the Router SSID, then select
Disabled. |
