Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X
The following parameters are in the Wireless Settings menu:
• Wireless Network.
– Name (SSID). The Service Set ID, also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all
wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is NETGEAR, but NETGEAR
strongly recommends that you change your network Name to a different value.
Note: This value is case sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as
– Region. Select your region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region of
operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the
router in a region other than the region shown here.
– Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point.
– Mode. The default is "g & b", which allows both "g" and "b" wireless stations to access
this device. "g only" allows only 802.11g wireless stations to be used. "b only" allows
802.11b wireless stations; 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in
802.11b mode.
• Wireless Access Point.
– Enable Wireless Access Point. This field lets you turn off or turn on the wireless access
point built in to the router. The wireless icon on the front of the router will also display the
current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. The
wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access the Internet.
– Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID). If enabled, the SSID is broadcast to all Wireless
Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID
for connections to this Access Point.
– Wireless Isolation. If enabled, Wireless Stations will not be able to communicate with
each other or with Stations on the wired network. This feature should normally be
disabled.
