DESCRIPTION
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the
frequency band and the country you are in.
Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This
option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Select this check box for the NBG460N to automatically choose the channel with the
least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel
using the Channel Section field.
This displays the channel the NBG460N is currently using.
Select whether the NBG460N uses a wireless channel width of 20 or 40 MHz. A
standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Because
not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the
NBG460N to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
Select Static-WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, or WPA2 to add security on this
wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must
have same wireless security settings as this device. After you select to use a
security, additional options appears in this screen. See 7.5.2, 7.5.3,
Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without
authentication.
Note: If you enable the WPS function, only No Security, WPA-PSK
and WPA2-PSK are available in this field.
