Wireless Settings Screen Fields
Wireless Network
• Name (SSID)
. The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is randomly generated, and there is typically no need to change it.
• Region
. The location where the modem router is used. It might not be legal to operate
the modem router in a region other than the regions listed.
• Channel . The wireless channel used by the gateway: 1 through 13. Do not change the
channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data
transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
• Mode . Up to 150 Mbps is the default (11n supports up to 150 Mbps) and allows 802.11n
and 802.11g wireless devices to join the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps.
Wireless Access Point
• Enable Wireless Access Point . Allow the unit to work as a wireless acces point.
• Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID) . This feature allows the modem router to broadcast its
SSID so that a wireless station can display this wireless name (SSID) in its scanned
network list. This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear
the Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID) check box and click Apply.
• Wireless Isolation . If this check box is selected, wireless computers or devices that join
the network can use the Internet but cannot access each other or access Ethernet
devices on the network.
