The checkbox enables Wi-Fi connections in the 2.4GHz band. If you
want to disable your WLAN in this band, deselect the checkbox.
If the checkbox is not selected, devices cannot connect to the router's
WLAN in the 2.4GHz band (or to the selected part of the WLAN if
the network is splitted into parts). Upon that the router can connect
to another access point as a wireless client.
To split the network into several parts in the 2.4GHz band, select a
relevant value (2, 3, or 4) from the drop-down list. By default, the
wireless network is not splitted (the Disabled value is selected
from the list).
For every part of the WLAN you can specify a name (SSID),
security settings, and rules for MAC filtering. To specify these
values, select the needed part from the BSSID drop-down list and
click the Apply button. Then proceed to the relevant page of the
Wi-Fi menu section.
The unique identifier for your Wi-Fi network (for the 2.4GHz and
5GHz band). You cannot change the value of this parameter, it is
determined in the device's internal settings.
If you have splitted your WLAN into parts, the drop-down list
contains several values. Each identifier corresponds to a single part
of the WLAN.
If the checkbox is selected, other users cannot see your Wi-Fi
network. (It is recommended not to select this checkbox in order to
simplify initial configuration of your WLAN.)
A name for the WLAN. By default, the value DIR-816LA1A is
specified. If your network is splitted into parts, each part has the
default name (DIR-816LA1A.2, DIR-816LA1A.3, and DIR-
816LA1A.4). It is recommended to specify another name for the
network upon initial configuration (use digits and Latin characters).
The country you are in. Select a value from the drop-down list.
The wireless channel number. When the auto value is selected, the
router itself chooses the channel with the least interference.
Operating mode of the wireless network of the router. This
parameter defines standards of the devices that will be able to use
this band of your wireless network. Select a value from the drop-
down list.
