Advanced Wireless Settings

You can use this screen to turn the wireless radio on and off, to specify WPS settings, to use
AP mode, and to set up a wireless access list.
The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options in this screen
are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these
settings unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Control the Wireless Radio

By default, the wireless radio is enabled so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. You
can turn the wireless radio on or off in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen or by using the
WiFi On/Off button on the router front panel. When the wireless radio is off, you can still use
an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
By default, the Enable Wireless Router Radio check boxes are selected for both the 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz bands.
