MAC Address
The MAC Address of the wireless interface is displayed here.
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.
SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate
with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the
default setting, Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select Disable.
Mode
If you have Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, then keep the default
setting, 11b+g. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select 11g Only. If you want to disable
wireless networking, select Disable.
SSID
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. Make sure this setting is the
same for all devices in your wireless network. For added security, CNet recommends that you
change the default SSID (CNET_Wireless) to a unique name of your choice.
Security
CNet Smart Wireless-G Router provide 40/64/128 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
and 256-bit WPA ( Wi-Fi Protected Access ). WEP and WPA are an encryption method used to
protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses 40-bit or 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide
access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. WPA uses
256-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data
transmission. To decode data transmissions, all devices- Wireless-G and Wireless-B-in a network
must use an identical WEP or WPA key. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security,
but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.
To Enable wireless encryption function, click the Enable radio button. Then click the Config
Security
button to configure the Security settings. To disable wireless encryption, keep the default
setting, Disable.
