Wireless Settings (supported models)

set wireless option ( on | off )
Administratively enables or disables the wireless interface.
set wireless network-id ssid { network_name }
Specifies the wireless network id for the Gateway. A unique ssid is generated for each
Gateway. You must set your wireless clients to connect to this exact id, which can be
changed to any 32-character string.
set wireless auto-channel mode { off | at-startup | continuous }
Specifies the wireless AutoChannel Setting for 802.11G models. AutoChannel is a feature
that allows the Netopia Gateway to determine the best channel to broadcast automatically.
For details, see "Advanced" on page 57.
set wireless default-channel { 1...14 }
Specifies the wireless 2.4GHz sub channel on which the wireless Gateway will operate. For
US operation, this is limited to channels 1–11. Other countries vary; for example, Japan is
channel 14 only. The default channel in the US is 6. Channel selection can have a signifi-
cant impact on performance, depending on other wireless activity in proximity to this AP.
Channel selection is not necessary at the clients; clients will scan the available channels
and look for APs using the same ssid as the client.
set wireless network-id closed-system { on | off }
When this setting is enabled, a client must know the ssid in order to connect or even see
the wireless access point. When disabled, a client may scan for available wireless access
points and will see this one. Enable this setting for greater security. The default is on.
