Wireless Network Name (SSID)
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the
list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the
SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured
network name. Add up to three additional SSIDs to create virtual wireless networks from one
wireless Router Access Point device.

Frequency (Channel)
A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication
between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic
devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your
wireless network.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to
wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP
must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel.
(Note that WDS security is incompatible with mixed mode, like WPAPSK+WPA2PSK mixed,
WEP AUTO and 802.1x, both feature cannot be used at the same time).
Configuring WDS with TEW-692GR
