DESCRIPTION
This displays the channel used by the wireless device to which you are
connecting.
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
This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Select this check box for the NBG-416N 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 NBG-416N is currently using.
Select whether the NBG-416N uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or
Auto 20/40MHz. A standard 20MHz 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 40MHz
channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG-416N to adjust the
channel bandwidth automatically.
Use this section to configure the wireless security between the NBG-416N
and its wireless clients.
Select Static WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK 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
6.4.2 and 6.4.3 sections. Or you can select No Security to allow any
client to associate this network without authentication.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-416N.
Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
