Understanding the Basic Wireless Settings

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

the Setup section of the main menu of the browser interface. The Wireless Settings page appears,

as shown below.

Figure 3-9: Basic Wireless Settings page

The Basic Wireless Settings options are discussed below:

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

Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters; the characters are case sensitive. 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 needs to use the SSID. The WG602 v3 default SSID is: NETGEAR.

Note: Different access points within an area can use different channels. To reduce interference,

adjacent access points should use different channels.

• SSID Broadcast. The default is Enable. If SSID Broadcast is disabled, only devices that have

the correct SSID can connect.

• Country/Region. This field identifies the region where the WG602 v3 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 region, and the channel is set to 11.

Unless a region is selected, the channel cannot be changed.
