Select the working mode of wireless interface:

AP: This router will act as access point (serves

other wireless client’s connection needs).

Client: This router will act as wireless client

(connect to other access point as client).

access point and the LAN clients on every

WDS-enabled access points can communicate

with each other.

Network Type

Select the wireless network type (Infrastructure or

Ad Hoc). This option is only required when this

router is working in ‘Client’ mode.

SSID

Input the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) of this

access point (or the SSID of the access point you

wish to connect when in ‘Client’ mode).

You can input up to 32 alphanumerical characters

as SSID. SSID is used to identify this wireless

router so wireless clients can identity this router

from others.

Channel Number

Select the channel number of wireless radio. All

wireless devices who wish to communicate with

each other must use the same channel number.

It’s highly recommended to select a channel

number which is not taken by other access points,

or the wireless network performance will become

poor. To know which channels are taken by other

access points, you can use ‘Site Survey’ function

(See chapter 2-7-5) to discover which channel

numbers were taken already.
