Require User Login
This option turns off and on the user login feature of the router. When you enable this
option a wireless user must enter a password to gain access to the the internet. It will
also limit internet access to only 32 simultaneous clients.
Wireless Network Name
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.
Enable Auto Channel Scan
If you select this option, the router automatically finds the channel with least interference
and uses that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the router uses
the channel that you specify with the following Wireless Channel option.
Wireless 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.
802.11 Mode
If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same
transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate
"Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose
the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
Channel Width
The "Auto 20/40 MHz" option is usually best. The other options are available for special
circumstances.
Transmission Rate
By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of
selecting the speed if necessary.
Visibility Status
The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to
Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your
signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When
Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the
client manually to connect to the network.
Security Mode
Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from
your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users.
