150Mbps Mode Band Width
You can select whether to use 20MHz or 40MHz modes for wireless commu-
nication. The 20-MHz channel bandwidth lessens the chance of interference
with other wireless networks. However, the wide 40-MHz channel bandwidth
increases throughput up to 150Mbps.
The default setting is 20MHz.
Extension Channel
When 40MHz has been selected under Band Width, two channels are used - a
Control Channel and an Extension Channel.
The Control Channel is specified by the "Wireless Channel" setting , and the
Extension Channel is specified by the "Extension Channel" setting.
Broadcast SSID
For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network's SSID
(set to "Allow" by default). 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 tick.
Security/Encryption
The WBMR-HP-GN modem router includes a security feature which allows
each wireless client to connect with a different level of security. This function
is particularly useful in a situation where a single client can only connect
via WEP (lowest level of security). Because clients can connect at different
encryption levels, it means that the security of the remaining wireless devices
is not compromised.
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set
Identi¬fier) is used. The default SSID of the Router is printed on the label
attached on the back of the Router . You can change this to anything you
want to or you can leave it unchanged. To change the SSID, type in the SSID
that you want to use in the SSID field. If you make a change to the SSID, your
wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to connect
to your new network name.
You can also change the Pre-Shared Key or password for each encryption
type and the Rekey interval (frequency with the key will be renewed).
SSID1
Wireless encryption WPA-PSK-TKIP or WPA/WPA2-Mixed is used for Multi
Security SSID1.
