Basic Wireless Settings
The Wireless screen allows you to customize data transmission settings. In most cases, the advanced settings on this screen should remain at their default values.
| Wireless Network Mode | Select the mode you want to use. Select G-Only, B-Only, Mixed, or Disable. Selecting Disable will disable the link to the other submenu like Wireless Security, Wireless Network Access, and Advanced Wireless Settings. Mixed mode will allow for both G and B wireless standards to function with the Router. |

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, Linksys recommends that you change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name of your choice. |
|
Channel |
Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings, between 1 and 11 (in North America) or 1 and 13 (in Most of Europe). All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly. |
|
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, Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Router SSID, then select Disable. |
