Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834
Warning: The Wireless Router is already configured with the optimum settings. Do not
alter these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support. Incorrect settings
may disable the Wireless Router unexpectedly.
Program the advanced wireless settings as follows:
• Enable Wireless Router Radio—the Wireless Router Radio of this router can be enabled or
disabled to allow wireless access. The wireless icon on the front of the router displays the
current status of the Wireless Router Radio to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. If
enabled, wireless stations will be able to access the Internet. If disabled, wireless stations will
not be able to access the Internet.
• Enable SSID Broadcast—if enabled, the Wireless Router SSID will broadcast its name
(SSID) to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt
the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
• Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, Preamble Mode—these settings are
reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
• Wireless Card Access List—by default, any wireless computer that is configured with the
correct SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can
restrict access to the wireless network to only allow specific computers based on their MAC
addresses.
