WIRELESS
This section allows you to configure the Gateway's built-in 54 Mbps 802.11g Access Point. To setup
the wireless connections, you will need to do define the Service Set Identifier (SSID), Channel,
Encryption options, and other optional settings.
To access the Wireless Settings page shown below, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Wireless]
link.
The Wireless Mode can be set to Mixed (default), 11B only, 11B+ only, or 11G only. Also, the
Gateway's wireless interface can be disabled if not being used.
Channel and SSID
You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Gateway and
all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.
To access the Channel and SSID configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Wireless]
link and then click on the [Channel and SSID] link.
SSID: This is the Wireless ID or Service Set ID of your wireless network. This should be set to the
same value as the other wireless devices in your network.
NOTE: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Channel: The radio channel through which the Gateway communicates to clients over the wireless
network.
NOTE: If you are not getting good wireless performance try another wireless channel – because
this Gateway operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum – it can be affected by some other products, such
as cordless phones.
