Manual

If you set the Wireless Configuration to Manual, the Basic 

Wireless Settings screen displays the following fields.

Network Mode

Select the wireless standards running

on your network. If you have Wireless-G and Wireless-B

devices in your network, keep the default, Mxed. If you

do not have any wireless devices, select Dsable.

Network Name (SSID)

The network name is case-sensitive

and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters

on the keyboard). Linksys recommends that you change the

default, lnksys, to a unique name of your choice.

Rado Band

For best performance in a network using

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

default, Wde - 40MHz Channel. For Wireless-G and

Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz

Channel.

NOTE:

If you select Wde - 40MHz Channel for

the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use

two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)

and a secondary on (Standard Channel). This will

enhance Wireless-N performance.

Wde Channel

If you selected Wde - 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.

Standard Channel

Select the channel for Wireless-N,

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

Wde – 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then

the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel for

Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select, do

not make any changes.

SSID Broadcast

When wireless devices survey the local

area for wireless networks to associate with, they will

detect the wireless network name or SSID broadcast by

the Gateway. If you want to broadcast the Gateway’s SSID,

keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Dsable.
