Manage the WiFi Network Settings

N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers

The following table describes the fields on the Wireless Settings screen.

Field Description

Region Selection

Region From the menu, select the region in which the modem router operates.

Note: It might not be legal to operate the modem router in a region other than the regions

listed in the menu. If your country or region is not listed, check with your local government

agency.

Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n)

Enable SSID

Broadcast

By default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID so that WiFi stations can detect the

WiFi name (SSID) in their scanned network lists.

o turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the

Enable SSID Broadcast check box. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional

WiFi security, but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the

modem router.

Enable Wireless

Isolation

By default, WiFi clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz band of the main WiFi network

can access other WiFi devices or Ethernet devices that are connected to the main WiFi

network.

o prevent access between devices on the 2.4 GHz band of the main WiFi

network, select the Enable Wireless Isolation check box.

Name (SSID) The SSID is the WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default SSID

displays.

The default SSID is also printed on the product label (see Bottom Panel Product

Label

on page 13).

Note: NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the default SSID. If you must

change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field.

Channel From the Channel menu, select Auto for automatic channel selection or select an

individual channel.

The default selection is Auto.

Note: In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless

you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this

situation occurs, experiment with different channels to see which one is the best.

Note: If you use multiple WiFi access points (APs), reduce interference by selecting

different channels for adjacent APs. NETGEAR recommends a channel spacing of four

channels between adjacent APs (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).

Mode From the

Mode menu, select one of the following modes:

• Up to 54 Mbps. Legacy mode.

This mode allows 802.1

1n, 802.11g, and 802.11b

devices to join the network but limits 802.11n devices to function at up to 54 Mbps.

• Up to 145 Mbps. Neighbor-friendly mode for reduced interference with neighboring

WiFi networks.

This mode allows 802.1

1n, 802.11g, and 802.11b devices to join the

network but limits 802.11n devices to function at up to 145 Mbps. This mode is the

default mode.

• Up to 300 Mbps. Performance mode.

This mode allows 802.1

1n, 802.11g, and

802.11b devices to join the network and allows 802.11n devices to function at up to

300 Mbps.

Note: WPA-PSK security supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps. Even if your devices are

capable of a higher speed, WPA-PSK security limits their speed to 54 Mbps.
