Interface
SSID
The SSID is an identication string of up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate
the ASUS WL-330N3G from other manufacturers. The SSID is also referred to as
the “ESSID” or “Extended Service Set ID.” You can use the default SSID and radio
channel unless more than one WL-330N3G is deployed in the same area. In that
case, you should use a different SSID and a radio channel for each WL-330N3G.
All ASUS Wireless APs/Routers and ASUS 802.11n/802.11g/802.11b WLAN client
adapters must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam. By
default, the SSID is set to “ASUS”.
Wireless Mode
This eld indicates the 802.11g interface mode. Selecting “Auto” allows 802.11g
and 802.11b clients to connect to the ASUS 802.11g AP. Selecting “54g Only”
maximizes performance, but prevents 802.11b clients from connecting to the ASUS
802.11g AP. Selecting “802.11B only” allows only 802.11b clients to connect to the
ASUS 802.11g AP. If “54g Protection” is checked, GMode protection of 11g trafc is
enabled automatically in the presence of 11b trafc.
Channel
The 802.11n/802.11g/802.11b specications supports up to 14 overlapping
channels for radio communication. To minimize interference, congure each ASUS
WL-330N3G to be non-overlapping; select Auto from the Channel drop-down list
to enable the system to select a clear channel during boot up as your operating
channel.
