Wireless Setup Screen Fields; Security Options Settings - NETGEAR CG3700EMR-1CMNDS User Manual

Wireless Setup Screen Fields

The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options in this screen
are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these
settings unless you have a specific reason to do so.
• Region Selection. Select the location where the gateway is used.
• Enable Wireless Gateway Radio. This setting enables the wireless interface. To turn off
the wireless interface, clear the Enable Wireless Gateway Radio check box, and click the
Apply button.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the gateway to broadcast its SSID so that
wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This
check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear this check box, and
click the Apply button.
• Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is randomly generated, and best practice is not to change the SSID.
• Channel. This setting is the wireless channel that the gateway uses. Choose a value
from 1 through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through
11 can be operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference
(such as lost connections or slow data transfers). If any interference happens, experiment
with different channels to see which is the best.
• Mode. Up to 145 Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to
join the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. The 300 Mbps setting allows 802.11n
devices to connect at this speed.

Security Options Settings

The Security Options section of the Wireless Setup screen lets you change the security
option and password. Best practice is not to change the security option or password,
but if you want to change these settings, this section explains how.
CAUTION:
Do not disable security.

To change the WPA security option and password:
1. Under Security Options, select the WPA option that you want.
