This screen allows you to choose your wireless network mode and wireless security.
Wireless Network
Wireless Network Mode. If you have 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, then keep the default
setting, Mixed. If you have only 802.11g devices, select 802.11g. If you have only 802.11b devices, select
802.11b. If you want to disable wireless networking, select Disabled.
Wireless Network Name (SSID). Enter the name for your wireless network into the field. The SSID is the
network name shared among all devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the
wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any
keyboard character. Linksys recommends that you change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name of your
choice.
Wireless Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network
settings, between 1 and 11 (in North America). All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in
order to function correctly. Linksys wireless clients will automatically detect the wireless channel of the Gateway.
Wireless SSID Broadcast. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with,
they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Gateway. To broadcast the Gateway’s SSID, keep the default setting,
Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Gateway's SSID, then select Disable.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click
