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
do not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point.
This is a nonconfigurable field that shows the status of the wireless scheduler.
For more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radio to Be Turned Off
page 61.
Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcast 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). If
this happens, 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 on page 139.
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, and 40 MHz. The default is
Dynamic 20/40 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. The default is Auto, or you
can select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy devices can operate
only with a long guard interval.
