Basic_ Wireless Settings
The wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your router. Note that changes made
in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless clients that you want to connect to your
wireless network.
To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features.
This device supports three wireless security modes including: WEP, WPA-Personal, and
WPA-Enterprise. WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA provides a higher level of
security. WPA-Personal does not require an authentication server. The WPA-Enterprise option does
require a RADIUS authentication server.
Enable Wireless
This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the router. When you set this option, the
following parameters are in effect.
Wireless Network Name
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless
Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security
purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name.
Enable Auto Channel Scan
If you select this option, the router automatically finds the channel with least interference and uses that
channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the router uses the channel that you specify with
the following Wireless Channel option.
