ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 5. Specify the remaining wireless settings as explained the following table: Table 7. Basic 5-GHz Band Wireless Settings Field Descriptions Wireless Network Name (SSID) Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set identifier (SSID); the characters are case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11na. The SSID assigned to a wireless device needs to match the wireless access point's SSID for the wireless device to communicate with the wireless access point. If the SSIDs do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point. Scheduler Status This is a nonconfigurable field that show the status of the wireless scheduler. For more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radio to Be Turned Off on page 55. Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) Channel / Frequency Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcasts its SSID, allowing wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the wireless access point's SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID from being broadcast, select the No radio button. From the drop-down list, select the channel you wish to use on your wireless LAN. The wireless channels and frequencies depend on the country and wireless mode. The default setting is Auto. Note: It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience interference (indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers). Should this happen, you might want to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. For more information, see the guidelines following this table. 11na mode only Note: For most networks, the default settings will work fine. Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see Technical Specifications in Appendix A. MCS Index / Data From the drop-down list, select a Modulation and Coding Rate Scheme (MCS) index and transmit data rate for the wireless network. The default setting is Best. For a list of all options that you can select from in 11na mode, see Factory Default Settings in Appendix A. Channel Width Guard Interval From the drop-down list, select a channel width. The options are Dynamic 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, or 40 MHz. A wider channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices can operate only in either 20 MHz or 40 MHz. From the drop-down list, select the guard interval to protect transmissions from interference. In addition to the default value Auto, you can also select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy devices can operate only with a long guard interval. Installation and Basic Configuration 28
