Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Table 29 Network > Wireless LAN > General LABEL DESCRIPTION Channel Selection Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency band and the country you are in. This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled. Auto Channel Select this check box for the NBG-460N to automatically choose the Selection channel with the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel using the Channel Section field. Operating Channel This displays the channel the NBG-460N is currently using. Channel Width Select whether the NBG-460N uses a wireless channel width of 20 or 40 MHz. A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG-460N to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically. Security Mode This is set to 20 MHz by default. This lessens radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood. Select Static WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK or WPA2 to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as this device. After you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen. See 7.4.2, 7.4.3, 7.4.4 sections. Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without authentication. This is set to No Security by default. Apply Reset Note: If the WPS function is enabled (default), only No Security, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are available in this field. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-460N. Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen. See the rest of this chapter for information on the other labels in this screen. 7.4.1 No Security Select No Security to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. 96 NBG-460N User's Guide
