Understanding Basic Wireless Settings

To configure the wireless settings of your wireless access point, click the Wireless Settings link in

the Basic section of the main menu of the browser interface. The Basic Wireless Settings menu

will appear, as shown below.

Figure 3-7: Basic Wireless Settings menu

The Basic Wireless Settings menu options are discussed below:

• Country/Region. This field identifies the region where the WG302 can be used. It may not be

legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless access point in a region other than one of

those identified in this field. There is no default country domain, and the channel is set to 11.

Unless a country domain is selected, the channel cannot be changed.

• Turn R adio On. On by default, you can also turn off the radio to disable access through this

device. This can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting activities.

• Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.

Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one

wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic.

Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use the SSID.

The WG302 default SSID is: NETGEAR.

– A group of Wireless Stations and a single access point, all using the same ID (SSID), form

a Basic Service Set (BSS).
