This page allows you to configure the router as an Access Point. You may setup the settings for security,
access control, and repeater features for this device.

To set the basic configuration for the wireless features, please open Basic page from the Wireless menu.
enable Wireless Network:
Click this check box to enable the wireless network function.
hide Wireless Network:
Check this box to hide the SSID of this AP (access point). Then other people in the network cannot find the
SSID of this device.
Wireless Network Name (SSID):
The system will detect the SSID of your router and displayed in this field for your reference.
The SSID is the identification characters of a router. The default words will be shown on this page.
If you do not check “Hidden SSID” item, the router will periodically broadcasts its SSID to allow the
wireless clients within the range to recognize its presence. This can create a security hole since any
wireless clients which got the broadcast might associate to your system.
Please note that if you want to communicate, all wireless clients should use the same SSID with the router or access point.
Channel:
The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Select one channel that you want
from the drop down list.
As an administrator of network, one must search which channels are available and then assign one
available channel as the communication channel. All the other clients that match the SSID and pass
security authentication can access this device and will use the same channel that you set here.
