ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 5. Specify the remaining wireless settings as explained the following table: Table 7. Basic 5 GHz band wireless settings Setting 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 do not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point. Wireless On-Off Status This is a nonconfigurable field that shows the status of the wireless scheduler. For more information, see Schedule the Wireless Radios to Be Turned Off on page 61. Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcast 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. Channel / Frequency 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). If this happens, 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 work fine. Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see Technical Specifications on page 140. 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 on page 143. Channel Width Guard Interval From the drop-down list, select a channel width. The options are Dynamic 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz. The default is Dynamic 20/40 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. The default is Auto, or you can select Long - 800 ns. Some legacy devices can operate only with a long guard interval. Installation and Basic Configuration 33
