Mode
Select the operating mode from the drop-down list. The options are Access Point,
Wireless Client, Bridge and AP+Repeater.
SSID Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters) for the wireless LAN.
Spaces are allowed.
Note: If you are configuring the device from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the device's SSID,
channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
device's new settings.
Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices is called
a channel.
Select a wireless channel if interference from other nearby devices is a problem.
The NWA570N and wireless devices in your network must use the same channel.
