10.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your NBG6818. The NBG6818 can
service both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks at the same time. You can have different wireless setup and
settings for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LANs. Click Settings > WiFi to configure wireless LAN 2.4G or wireless

See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 54 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network in the figure is encircled in blue. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called
wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the
printer) or with the Internet. Your NBG6818 is the AP.
10.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the Main WiFi screen to enable or disable the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN, set up wireless security
between the NBG6818 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section
10.2 on page 106).
• Use the Guest WiFi screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your NBG6818 (Section 10.3 on page
108).
• Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations from connecting to the NBG6818 based on
their MAC address (Section 10.4 on page 108).
