Device Name text
box
In the Device Name text box, enter a name for the WP201-100.
The entered name appears in the Device Status window (on page 165).
Important!: The Device Name is NOT the SSID and is NOT broadcast
to other devices.

list box
Important!: The Country / Region is set at the factory and cannot be

Band Steering -
Enable or Disable
option buttons
If applicable, select the Band Steering Enable option button to activate this
feature in the WP201-100.
l Band Steering works within the Access Point by directing 5GHz-capable
clients to that band.
l The Band Steering sends 802.11n clients to the 5GHz band where
802.11b/g clients cannot go and leave 802.11b/g clients in the 2.4GHz band
to maintain optimal data traffic flow.
When the Band Steering option is enabled:
l The WP201-100 hides the SSID information carried in 2.4GHz beacon
frames.
l SSID information in 5GHz beacon frames is still retained.
l Dual-band capable clients find the available SSIDs from only the 5GHz
beacon frames for connection by this method.
Important!: Per the Band Steering Note, the SSID and Security
Settings in the Wireless Edit dialog box (on page 208) MUST be the
same for 2.4GHz and 5GHz WP201-100s.
