Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings

The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this

screen.
There are two ways to configure the Router’s wireless

network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that makes it easy to set

up your wireless network. If you have client devices, such

as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

Wireless Configuration

To manually configure your

wireless network, select Manual. Proceed to the “Basic

Wireless Settings” section. To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

select Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Proceed to the “Wi-Fi

Protected Setup” section.

Basic Wireless Settings

Network Mode

From this drop-down menu, you can

select the wireless standards running on your network. If

you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in

your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have

only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network,

select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices,

select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G

devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-

B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any

wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.

Network Name (SSID)

The SSID is the network name

shared among all points 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 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).

Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your

wireless network. For added security, you should change

the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Radio Band

For best performance in a network using

Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the

default, Auto - 20/40MHz Channel. For Wireless-G and

Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz

Channel.

NOTE:

If you select Auto - 20/40MHz Channel

for the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can

use two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)

and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This

will enhance Wireless-N performance.

Wide Channel

If you selected Auto - 20/40MHz Channel

for the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be

available for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any

channel from the drop-down menu. If you are not sure

which channel to select, keep the default, Auto.

Standard Channel

Select the channel for Wireless-N,

Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected

Auto – 20/40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting,

then the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel
