Descriptions
Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set identifier (SSID); the characters are
case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11na. The SSID assigned to a wireless
device needs to match the wireless access point's SSID for the wireless device
to communicate with the wireless access point. If the SSIDs do not match, you
will not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point.
This is a nonconfigurable field that show the status of the wireless scheduler. For
more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radio to Be Turned Off
page 55.
Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcasts its
SSID, allowing wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the
wireless access point's SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID
from being broadcast, select the No radio button.
From the drop-down list, select the channel you wish to use on your wireless
LAN. The wireless channels and frequencies depend on the country and
wireless mode. The default setting is Auto.
Note: It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
experience interference (indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers).
Should this happen, you might want to experiment with different channels to see
which is the best. For more information, see the guidelines following this table.
Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see
Technical Specifications in Appendix A.
MCS Index / Data From the drop-down list, select a Modulation and Coding
Rate Scheme (MCS) index and transmit data rate for the wireless
network. The default setting is Best. For a list of all options
that you can select from in 11na mode, see
Settings
Channel Width From the drop-down list, select a channel width. The options
are Dynamic 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, or 40 MHz. A wider
channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices
can operate only in either 20 MHz or 40 MHz.
Guard Interval From the drop-down list, select the guard interval to protect
transmissions from interference. In addition to the default
value Auto, you can also select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy
devices can operate only with a long guard interval.
