Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834GSP

Wireless Configuration 4-5

v1.0, June 2007

The following parameters are in the Wireless Settings menu:

• Wireless Network.

— Name (SSID). The Service Set ID, also known as the wireless network name. Enter a

value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all

wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is a unique value printed on the label

on the bottom of your modem router.

— Region. Select your country/region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region

of operation for which the wireless interface is intended.

— Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default

channel is selected by encoding the MAC address. It should not be necessary to change the

wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access

point.

— Mode. The default is "g & b", which allows both "g" and "b" wireless stations to access

this device. “g only” allows only 802.11g wireless stations to be used. “b only” allows

802.11b wireless stations; 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in

802.11b mode.

• Wireless Access Point.

— Enable Wireless Access Point. This field lets you turn off or turn on the wireless access

point built in to the modem router. The wireless icon on the front of the modem router will

also display the current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled

or enabled. The wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access

the Internet.

— Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID). If enabled, the SSID is broadcast to all Wireless

Stations. Stations that have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for

connections to this Access Point.

— Wireless Isolation. If enabled, Wireless Stations will not be able to communicate with

each other or with Stations on the wired network. This feature should normally be

disabled.

Note: This value is case sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as

wireless.

Since your default SSID is unique, there is no good reason for changing its

value. If you do change the value, performing a hard reset will restore the

SSID to its default.
