portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Default Gateway This is the IP address of the gateway
device that allows for contact between the Router and the
remote network or host.
Interface
This interface tells you whether the Destination
IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (Ethernet and wireless
networks) or the WAN (Internet).

Wireless Network Name (SSID)
name shared among all devices in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32
characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Wireless Channel Select the channel from the list
provided to correspond with your network settings. All
devices in your wireless network must be broadcast on
the same channel in order to function correctly.
Wireless SSID Broadcast When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast
the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select
Disabled.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is
a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WPA2
is a more advanced, more secure version of WPA. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
"Chapter 2: Wireless Security. "
