Wireless Status

Introduction
The Wireless Status page provides you an overview of the wireless settings that are
currently used by your HSG.
Overview
The following settings are available:
Radio Enabled:
Displays whether the HSG's wireless radio is active.
SSID:
To be able to distinguish one wireless network from another, each wireless
network has its own network name, often referred to as Service Set IDentifier
(SSID). All your wireless devices on your network must use this network name.
Channel:
Displays the channel to which the wireless connection is currently set. When you
select Automatic (default setting), the HSG automatically selects the best
channel for your wireless communication. The actual channel will then be
displayed between parentheses (for example, Automatic (6) indicates that
channel 6 is selected)
Security Enabled:
Displays whether wireless security is enabled. If security is enabled, the HSG is
using one of the following encryption types to secure your wireless connection:
WEP 64-bit:
The oldest and also most encryption type. We recommend to use WPA instead.
Only use it if your wireless client does not support WPA.
WPA+WPA2:
This is a mixed mode. In this mode WPA2, is the preferred encryption type but
wireless clients do not support WPA2, can still use WPA as encryption type.
Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or if you are
not sure. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the others will use
WPA.
