DESCRIPTION
Enable
Wireless LAN
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
Name(SSID)
(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Hide SSID
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel
Selection
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the
frequency band and the country you are in.
Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This
option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.
Auto Channel
Selection
Select this check box for the NBG420N to automatically choose the channel with the
least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel
using the Channel Section field.
Operating
Channel
This displays the channel the NBG420N is currently using.
Channel Width
Select whether the NBG420N uses a wireless channel width of 20 or 40 MHz. A
standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Because
not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the
NBG420N to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
Security Mode
Select Static-WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, or WPA2 to add security on this
wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must
have same wireless security settings as this device. After you select to use a
security, additional options appears in this screen. See
sections.
Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without
authentication.
Note: If you enable the WPS function, only No Security, WPA-PSK
and WPA2-PSK are available in this field.
