Mode menu.
Wireless Settings Screen Fields
The following sections describe the fields of the Wireless Settings screen.
Wireless Network
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, but you can clear it to disable broadcast of the SSID.
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or
access Ethernet devices on the network.
Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. The default SSID is
randomly generated. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change the
default SSID. If you do decide to change the name, enter a 32-character (maximum) name in
this field. This field is case-sensitive.
Region. 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. The default setting is Auto, which means that the router selects a channel
automatically.
Note: When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access
points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended
channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example,
use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
Mode. Up to 150 Mbps is the default setting. Up to 54 Mbps supports 802.11g, and 11b
wireless devices. The 300 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 wireless
authentication and encryption option and the passphrase (also referred to as the wireless
network password or network key). The security that you select encrypts data transmissions
and ensures that only trusted devices receive authorization to connect to your network.
