NETWORK SETTINGS
• 802.11 Mode: Choose the setting that corresponds to the type of wireless clients connected to your
network: B, G, N, B/G or B/G/N (on the 2.4GHz) or A, N or A/N (on the 5GHz). If you aren’t sure which
type(s) of clients will access the wireless networks, it’s recommended to choose B/G/N Mixed (on the
2.4GHz) or A/N Mixed (on the 5GHz) for best performance.
• NOTE: When set to a mixed mode ALL devices connected to the wireless will use the mode that is
compatible for ALL devices. Example – If you have the 2.4GHz Wireless set to B/G/N Mixed and a devices
connects using G, all devices will be connected at G speed.
• SSID: SSID is the name the W7x will broadcast over the wireless network to identify the Access Point. You
can set the SSID in either of two ways: type a name in the “Specify the static SSID:” text box (maximum
length 32 characters), or click “Site Survey” to perform an automatic Site Survey. A new window will
display the site survey utility. The W7x will scan the 2.4GHz frequency for devices currently broadcasting
