DESCRIPTION
Select Enable to activate the 2.4G and/or 5G wireless LAN. Select Disable to turn
it off.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found
on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the
frequency band and the country you are in.
Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This
option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Select this check box for the NBG5715 to automatically choose the channel with
the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the
channel using the Channel Section field.
This displays the channel the NBG5715 is currently using.
Select the wireless channel width used by NBG5715.
A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 216.7 Mbps whereas a
40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 450 Mbps.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow
the NBG5715 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
Select 20 MHz to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood.
