Descriptions
Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set identifier (SSID); the characters are
case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11ng. 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 field is not configurable. It shows the status of the wireless scheduler. For
more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radios 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 for 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
Guidelines on page 19.
Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see
Technical Specifications on page 140.
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 11ng 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
20 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.
