The Smart Hub's basic Wireless settings can be viewed and configured by selecting the "Basic" menu item under
the "Wireless Settings" tab in the Advanced View of the Management Console.
Radio On/Off: On by default. Changing this option to off will turn off the wireless network broadcast functionality on
the Smart Hub and you will not be able to connect to your Smart Hub wirelessly.
Network Mode: You can select which wireless standards are able to connect to your wireless network:
11b/g mixed mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices are allowed to connect to your Smart Hub.
11b only: Select this if all of your wireless clients are 802.11b.

11/b/g/n Mixed mode: Select this if 802.11b and 802.11g and 802.11n wireless devices are in your network.

for added security.
