DESCRIPTION
Select whether the Device uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or
40MHz.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps
whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds
of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio
channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40
MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the
environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless
devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support
channel bonding.
This field is available only when you set the 802.11 Mode to 802.11n
Only or 802.11b/g/n Mixed in the Advanced Setup screen.
This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and
set the Bandwidth field to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set
in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or Upper range of channel
bands.
This field is available only when you set the 802.11 Mode to 802.11n
Only or 802.11b/g/n Mixed in the Advanced Setup screen.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a
wireless device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access
point (AP) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32
printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the Device from a computer connected to
the wireless LAN and you change the Device's SSID or WEP
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press
Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings
of your computer to match the Device's new settings.
This is available when you use WEP or WPA(2)-PSK security. Select this
option to have the Device generate the wireless security key
automatically.
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.
Select this check box to allow the Device to transmit wireless multicast
traffic.
This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the Device when
wireless LAN is enabled.
See the following sections for more details about this field.
Click this button to go to the MAC Filter screen to configure whether the
wireless devices with the MAC addresses listed are allowed or denied to
access the Device using this SSID.
