Manual
If you set the Wireless Configuration to Manual, the Basic
Wireless Settings screen displays the following fields.
Network Mode Select the wireless standards running
on your network. If you have Wireless-G and Wireless-B
devices in your network, keep the default, Mxed. If you
do not have any wireless devices, select Dsable.
Network Name (SSID) The network name is case-sensitive
and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters
on the keyboard). Linksys recommends that you change the
default, lnksys, to a unique name of your choice.
Rado Band For best performance in a network using
Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the
default, Wde - 40MHz Channel. For Wireless-G and
Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz
Channel.
NOTE: If you select Wde - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use
two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)
and a secondary on (Standard Channel). This will
enhance Wireless-N performance.
Wde Channel If you selected Wde - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be available
for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any channel
from the drop-down menu.
Standard Channel Select the channel for Wireless-N,
Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected
Wde – 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then
the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel for
Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select, do
not make any changes.
SSID Broadcast When wireless devices survey the local
area for wireless networks to associate with, they will
detect the wireless network name or SSID broadcast by
the Gateway. If you want to broadcast the Gateway’s SSID,
keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Dsable.
