Wireless Configuration 4-9

202-10072-01, March 2005

Click Wireless Settings in the main menu of the WPN824 firewall.

Figure 4-5: Wireless Settings menu

Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,

enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.

Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the SSID of

any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the RangeMax Wireless

Router WPN824. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the WPN824.

4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.

5. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11.

This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to

change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby

wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless

networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless

channel frequencies please refer to “Wireless Channels” on page D-7.

6. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to “Everyone” and

the Encryption Strength set to “Disabled.”

7. Click Apply to save your changes.
