This screen allows you to choose your wireless network mode and other basic features.

Wireless Settings

Network Mode

The default is Mixed. You can also disable wireless connectivity completely. This might be useful during system maintenance.

Network Name (SSID)

The SSID is the network name shared by 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 keyboard characters in length. Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network. For added security, you should change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Radio Band

You can select the channel bandwidth manually for Wireless-N connections. When it is set to 20MHz, only the 20MHz channel is used. When it is set to 40MHz, Wireless-N connections will use 40MHz channel but Wireless-B and Wireless-G will still use 20MHz channel.

Wide Channel

If you select the 40MHz Channel as the channel bandwidth, the Wireless Router will ask you to select a number of Wide Channel and the adjacent 20MHz channel to combine them into a wider channel.

Standard Channel

Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings. If you select the 20MHz Channel as the channel bandwidth, the default channel is 6. All devices in your wireless network must broadcast on the same channel in order to communicate.

Wireless SSID Broadcast

When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router.
