Mobile LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1516

• Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless

network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open

network (without wireless security) that they discover.

• Does your wireless device or computer appear on the Attached Devices screen? If it

does, then it is connected to the network.

• If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on

the bottom of your router.

Wireless Settings Screen Fields

Wireless Network

The b/g/n and a/n notation references the 802.11 standards of conformance. For instance,

the 2.4 b/g/n conforms to 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n at 2.4 GHz radio frequency.

Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the router to broadcast its SSID so wireless

stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check box is

selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check

box, and click Apply.

Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character

(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly

generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.

Region Selection. The location where the router is used. Select from the countries in the list.

Note that in the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.

Channel. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1

through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be

operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost

connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to

see which is the best.

Mode. Up to 217 Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join

the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. The 450 Mbps setting allows 802.11n devices to

connect at this speed.

Security Options

The Security Options section of the Wireless Settings screen lets you change the security

option and passphrase. Please note that NETGEAR recommends that you do not change

the security option or passphrase, but if you want to change these settings, the following

section explains how. Do not disable security.
