6.2.1 Basic Wireless Settings

You can configure the router's basic wireless settings on this screen.
Mode: Choose from Mixed (n/g/b), Mixed (g/b), Wireless-11n Only, Wireless-11g Only,
Wireless-11b Only, or Disabled to stop wireless function.
Network Name (SSID): You can change the router's SSID in this field. The SSID is the
name that your router sends out wirelessly. Once you have changed the SSID, your
network clients need to re-connect themselves using the new SSID.
Channel: Select the desired channel.
Changing channels is useful when you are experiencing slow, unstable wireless
connections, or if you are unable to establish a wireless connection at all.
Your router has 11 channels available (1-11). Start with channel 1 and work your way
up. Each time you change channels on the router, restart the wireless computers and
then try to connect. If the computers are able to connect, test the channel out for a
while and make sure that they hold the connection. Keep changing channels until you
find one that gives you a stable connection.
All the network clients need to be using the same channel.
SSID Broadcast: Choose to enable or disable the broadcasting of your SSID.
