Wireless configuration
If your Router is a wireless model (such as a 3347NWG) you can enable or disable the wireless LAN by
selecting Wireless Configuration. The Wireless LAN Configuration screen appears.
Enable Wireless is set to Yes by default. When Enable Wireless is disabled (No), the Gateway will not provide or
broadcast any wireless LAN ser vices. If you toggle Enable Wireless to No or Yes, you must restar t the Gateway
for the change to take effect. See
“Restar ting the System” on page 11-8 .
• SSID (Wireless ID): The SSID is preset to a number that is unique to your unit. You can either leave it as is,
or change it by entering a freeform name of up to 32 characters, for example “Ed’s Wireless LAN”. On
client PCs’ software, this might also be called the Network Name. The SSID is used to identify this
par ticular wireless LAN. Depending on their operating system or client wireless card, users must either:
• select from a list of available wireless LANs that appear in a scanned list on their client
• or, if you are in Closed System Mode (see “Closed System” on page 3-24 ), enter this name on their cli-
ents in order to join this wireless LAN.
You can then configure:
