RangeMax™ Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700 User Manual Table 2-1. Wireless Settings (continued) Settings Wireless Network (for 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n) Enable SSID Broadcast Enable Video Network Name (SSID) Channel Mode Description The SSID of any wireless access adapter must match the SSID you configure in the wireless router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the wireless router. Clear this check box to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that only devices that know the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network discovery feature of some products such as Windows XP. (For 5GHz a/n network only) Select this check box if you will be streaming HD video. When this option is selected, the router uses Video reliability algorithms to reduce jitter and packet loss during video presentations. If you will not be streaming video, leave this check box unchecked. This is the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character (maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device that you want to participate in a wireless network must use the SSID. The wireless channel fields determine the operating frequency used for the 11N or 11G wireless networks. Do not change the wireless channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, you might need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. Specify the wireless mode to be used. The options are: • Up to 54 Mbps. Legacy mode, using a maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks. • Up to 130 Mbps. Neighbor friendly mode, for reduced interference with neighboring wireless networks. Provides two transmission streams with different data on the same channel at the same time, but also allows 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices. This is the default value for the 2.4 GHz b/g/n wireless network. • Up to 300 Mbps. Performance mode, using a maximum Wireless-N speed of up to 300 Mbps. This is the default value for the 5 GHz a/n wireless network. Safeguarding Your Network 2-7 v1.3, October 2009
