Wireless Network

Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n

bands.

Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character

(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly

generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this setting.

Channel. Th

is setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1

through 13. For products in the North America market, only channels 1 through 11 can be

operated. Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (when indicated by

lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference happens, experiment with

different channels to see which is the best.

Mode. Up to 130

Mbps is the default and allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join

the network. g & b supports up to 54 Mbps. The 300 Mbps setting allows 802.11n devices to

connect at this speed.

Enable SSID Broadcast.

This setting allows the WiFi modem router to broadcast its SSID so

wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This

check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID

Broadcast check box and click Apply.

Enable Wireless Isolation. If th

is check box is selected, wireless clients (computers or

wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or

access Ethernet devices on the network.

Security Options Settings

Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n

bands.

The Security Options section of the Wireless Setup screen lets you change the security

option and password. NETGEAR recommends that you do not change the security

option or passphrase, but if you want to change these settings, this section explains how.

Do not disable security.
