Wireless Settings; Ap Basic - NetComm NTC-30WV User Manual

Wireless settings

The Wireless Settings pages allow you to configure the WiFi settings of the router. The NTC-30WV is capable of running both
access point and wireless client modes simultaneously, however, they must both use the same channel number.

AP basic

The basic page provides options for turning the WiFi access point on or off, modes of operation, frequency and security settings.

wireless broadcast protocol types. They are:
