Basic_Wireless
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-Enterprise 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 indicates the wireless operating status. The wireless can be turned on or off by the slide
switch at the back panel. When the wireless is enabled, 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.
