Configure Wireless Settings
During initial setup, you entered your country and region in the General Settings screen (see
Configure General Settings on page 47). Based on your location and environment, the
wireless controller determined the best wireless settings for the discovered access points and
pushed these settings to your managed access points.
IMPORTANT:
Unless your network and environment require that you use other
wireless settings, NETGEAR recommends that you leave the
wireless settings as they are.
Typically, the default wireless settings do not need adjustment. Override the wireless settings
only if there is a specific need, such as a phone vendor that specifies a setting dif
ferent from
the default. You can configure wireless settings for the basic profile group and for advanced
profile groups (see Configure Wireless Settings for an Advanced Profile Group on page 133).
Configure Wireless Settings for the Basic Profile Group
There are two requirements for you to be able to configure the wireless settings on the Basic
Wireless Settings screen:
• You need to disable automatic channel allocation for the radio on the Channel Allocation
screen. For information about channel allocation, see Configure Channels on page 137.
• There needs to be at least one access point assigned to the profile group for the radio for
which you want to configure the wireless settings.
 To configure wireless settings for the basic profile group:
1. Select Configuration > Wireless > Basic > W
ireless.
