Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual Note Under normal conditions, you want the radio to be turned on. Turning off the radio disables access through the access point, which can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting activities. 7. Click the OK button to confirm the change of WiFi mode. The change does not take effect until you click the Apply button after you complete the WiFi configuration. 8. Specify the remaining WiFi settings as described the following table. Setting Descriptions Wireless Network Name Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set identifier (SSID); the characters are (SSID) case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11ac. The SSID assigned to a WiFi device must match the access point's SSID for the WiFi device to communicate with the access point. If the SSIDs do not match, you do not get a WiFi connection to the access point. Broadcast Wireless Select the Yes radio button to enable the access point to broadcast its SSID, allowing Network Name (SSID) WiFi stations with a null (blank) SSID to adopt the access point's SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID from being broadcast, select the No radio button. Channel / Frequency From the menu, select the channel that you want to use for your WiFi LAN. The available WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the country and WiFi mode. The default setting is Auto, which enables the access point to automatically select the most suitable channel. However, you do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience interference (indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, you might want to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. For more information, see Operating Frequency Guidelines on page 14. For more information about available channels and frequencies, see Technical Specifications on page 158. If the access point is a member of an ensemble for which automatic channel assignment is enabled (see Manage Automatic Channel Assignment for an Ensemble on page 91), Auto is not available as a selection from the Channel / Frequency menu. 11a-na-ac mode only MCS Index / Data From the menu, select a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) (For most networks, the Rate default settings work fine.) index and transmit data rate for the WiFi network. The default setting is Best. For a list of all options that you can select from in 11a-na-ac mode, see Factory Default Settings on page 161. Channel Width From the menu, select a channel width. The options are 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz. The default is 80 MHz. Guard Interval From the menu, select the guard interval to protect transmissions from interference. The default is Auto, or you can select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy devices can operate only with a long guard interval. Initial Setup 28
