Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R7900P
Field Description
Region Selection
Region From the menu, select the region in which the router operates.
Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n)
Enable SSID Broadcast By default, the router broadcasts its SSID so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name
(SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable
SSID Broadcast check box. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional WiFi
security, but users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network of the router.
Name (SSID) The SSID is the 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default
SSID displays. The default SSID is also printed on the router label (see
page 13).
Channel From the Channel menu, select Auto for automatic channel selection or select an
individual channel. The default selection is Auto.
Note It might not be legal to operate the router in a region other than the
regions listed in the menu. If your country or region is not listed, check
with your local government agency.
Note If you change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive
name in this field.
Note In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the
channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections
or slow data transfers). If this situation occurs, experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
Note If you use multiple WiFi access points (APs), reduce interference by
selecting different channels for adjacent APs. We recommend a channel
spacing of four channels between adjacent APs (for example, use
Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
