Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Using the Broadcast SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network's
SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers
that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off
the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark from the box next
to "Broadcast SSID", and then click "Apply Changes". The change is
immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your
specific SSID; an SSID of "ANY" will no longer be accepted. Refer to
the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information
on making this change.
Super G Wireless Mode
The Super G wireless mode of the Router is shipped from the factory
in the "g and b" mode, meaning it will seamlessly interoperate with
802.11b and 802.11g devices. Setting the Router's wireless mode
to b only will allow only 802.11b devices to connect to the network.
Setting the wireless mode to "Auto 108Mbps" will allow the Router
to jump into the 108Mbps mode when possible. In this mode the
Router constantly monitors the radio waves looking for interference
or other networks. If neither of these is detected, the Router will jump
into 108Mbps mode and remain there unless interference or another
network is detected. "108Mbps only" mode will lock the Router into
the 108Mbps mode. This mode is only recommended if there are
absolutely no other 802.11g networks or interference in the space
where you are operating your network. Interference can greatly and
adversely affect the performance of the Router when locked into
108Mbps mode. To change the wireless mode, select the mode you
want from the drop-down menu and click "Apply Changes".
Super Mode
Enabling Super mode will allow you to take advantage of the dynamic
108Mbps capability, real-time hardware data compression, dynamic
transmit optimization and standards-compliant bursting. Setting the
wireless mode to "Auto 108Mbps" and enabling Super mode will
allow the Router to jump into Super mode when possible. The Router
constantly monitors the radio waves looking for interference or other
networks. If neither of these is detected, the Router will jump into
Super mode and remain there unless interference or another network
is detected. The Super mode is turned OFF at the factory. To enable
Super mode, check the check box and click "Apply Changes".
