LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name (SSID) The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is
associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found on a typical
English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.
Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot
obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel Selection Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the
frequency band and the country you are in.
This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Operating This displays the channel the NBG6817 is currently using.
Channel
Channel Width Select the wireless channel width used by NBG6817.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps
(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to
300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ). An IEEE 802.11ac-specific 80MHz channel offers
speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps.
The following are available only when you set Band to 2.4GHz.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the
NBG6817 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20
MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
The following are available only when you set Band to 5GHz.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 80 MHz channels, select Auto to allow the
NBG6817 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
80+80MHz bonds two non-adjacent 80MHz channels to increase throughput. The
wireless clients may transmit/receive on both channels and use for the same purpose
simultaneously.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless
clients must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting
in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
