The following fields are available for configuration:
Wireless Network:
Allows you to enable or disable this access point.
Network Name (SSID):
To distinguish one wireless network from another, each wireless network has its own network name, often
referred to as Service Set IDentifier (SSID). All your wireless clients on your network must use this network name
(SSID).
Note: By default, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz APs have the same Network Name (SSID). This is so that dual mode
clients can easily attach to the best AP best on rate and distance from the AP. You can choice to use different
Network Names (SSIDs) for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz APs, if desired.
Mode:
The standards that are allowed for wireless communication. Only devices that support one of the selected modes
can connect to the Gateway.
Security Mode:
The encryption type used to secure your wireless communication. We recommend using the default encryption,
WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) as it is compatible with most of the Wi-Fi devices and offers an excellent level of
security. Open and WEP are to be avoided because of their own security flaws and should not be used in normal
conditions.
Channel Selection:
The default setting is Automatic; the Gateway automatically selects the best channel for your wireless
communication. We recommend that you not change this setting.
Channel:
The channel that is currently used for your wireless communication.
Channel bandwidth:
Allows you to select the channel bandwidth from the available option.
Network Password:
The wireless network key that is used for encrypting your wireless communication.
Show Network Password:
When you select the Show Network Password check box, the text in the Network Password will no longer be
masked.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID):
By default, the Gateway broadcasts its network name. Wireless clients can then detect the presence of your
network and inform the users that this network is available.
Enabling SSID broadcast does not mean that everyone can connect to your network. They still need
the correct wireless network key (password) to connect to the Gateway network. It only informs them
that your network is present.
SSID broadcasting is required for WPS.
