Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router The WIRELESS Tab - BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGS Wireless Setting Network. From this drop-down menu, you can select the wireless standards running on your network. If you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices, select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any wireless devices in your network, select Disable. Wireless Name (SSID). The SSID is the network name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network. For added security, you should change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name. Radio Band. For best performance in a network using Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the default, Wide - 40MHz Channel. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz Channel. If you are not sure which radio band to select, keep the default, Auto. Wide Channel. If you selected Wide - 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be available for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any channel from the drop-down menu. Standard Channel. Select the channel for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected Wide - 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel for Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select, keep the default, Auto. Figure 5-12: WIRELESS Tab- BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGS SSID Broadcast. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select Disable. When you have finished making changes to this screen, click SAVE SETTINGS to save the changes, or click CANCEL CHANGES to clear all fields and start over. NOTE: If you select Wide - 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel) and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This will enhance Wireless-N performance. Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router 23 The WIRELESS Tab - BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGS
