11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate

with the 11n Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates

may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g clients.

11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the

11n Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be

slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.

Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service

provided by the 11n Router. Clients that want to connect to the network

must set their SSID to the same as that of the 11n Router. (Default:

“ALFA”; Range: 1-32 characters)

Multiple SSID1 — One additional VAP interface supported on the

device. (Default: no name configured; Range: 1-32 characters)

Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the 11n Router

always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the SSID

broadcast increases security of the network because wireless clients

need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect. When set

to disable, the Network Name SSID, and SSID1 are automatically set to

“Hide.” (Default: Enabled)

AP Isolation — The 11n Router will isolate communincation between

all clients in order to protect them. Normally for users who are at

hotspots. (Default: Disabled)

MBSSID AP Isolation — The 11n Router will isolate wireless clients

from different SSID.

BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the 11n Router in the Basic

Service Set (BSS) network.

Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the 11n Router uses

to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are

deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access

points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other.

For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area

using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the

channel to the same as that used by the 11n Router to which it is

linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the 11n Router to automatically

select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
