TRENDnet User's Guide Device o Enable turns on the wireless networking on your router (by default it is enabled). o Disable turns off wireless networking on your router. Note: It is recommended to leave the wireless setting to Enable unless you do not plan on connecting any wireless computers or devices to your network. SSID: This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the name of your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others around you. By default, the router broadcast TRENDnet722as the wireless network name. If you choose to change the SSID, change it to a name that you can easily remember. Wireless Channel: In North America, this router can broadcast on 1 of 11 Channels (13 in Europe and other countries). Selecting the Auto option enables the router to automatically select the best Channel for wireless communication. To manually set the channel on which the router will broadcast, click the drop-down list and select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks. Wireless Mode: Select the appropriate mode for your network. o B/G/N mixed: Select this mode for the best compatibility. This mode allows older 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices to connect to the router in addition to newer 802.11n devices. o B/G mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11b or 802.11g technology and it thereby reduces the router's maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not recommended). o N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your router. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for your network, however if you have older 802.11g wireless clients, they will no longer be able to connect to this router. o G only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11g technology (typically not recommended). TEW-722BRM o B only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using older and slow 802.11b technology (typically not recommended). Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (B/G/N mixed) for the best compatibility. When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following: Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can connect wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b. Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates. Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher performance and data rates of 802.11n. Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode. Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11g only mode.
