Wireless Settings

Network Name and Channel are necessary for enabling a wireless network.

Network Name (SSID) - a unique network name, also called SSID (Service Set Identifer). It is used to identify the
WLAN. When a mobile device tries to connect to the router, the user must know the router's SSID first.
Channel - the radio channel over which a communication transmission occurs. The operating channel number depends
on the regulatory domain.

The Wireless Broadband Router provides advanced mechanism for wireless security. It ensures the confidentiality of data, and
also guards data against being modified. If you want to enable the security mechanism, check the Enable Wireless Security
box. Select either WEP or WPA in Network Authentication.
