N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router DGND3800B Enable SSID Broadcast. If this feature is enabled, the modem router broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations that have no SSID (or a null value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this access point. Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode. Do not change these settings. The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode settings are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. WPS Settings Router's PIN. The PIN number that you use on a registrar (for example, from the Network Explorer on a Vista Windows PC) to configure the modem router's wireless settings through WPS. You can also find the PIN on the modem router's product label. Disable Router's PIN. The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem router's wireless settings by using the modem router's PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router's PIN check box. Keep Existing Wireless Settings. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. This shows whether the router is in the WPS configured state. If the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is not selected, adding a new wireless client changes the router's wireless settings to an automatically generated random SSID and security key. NETGEAR does not recommend this. In addition, if this option is selected, some external registrars (e.g., Network Explorer on Vista Windows) might not see the router. Configuring the basic wireless settings from the router's management interface selects this option automatically. Wireless Card Access List. By default, any wireless computer that is configured with the correct SSID is allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific computers based on their MAC addresses. On the Wireless Settings screen, select Setup Access List to display the Wireless Access List screen. Advanced Settings 85
