Wireless LAN
This is turned on by default.
You can turn the wireless LAN on or off using the switch at the rear panel
of the NBG-419N. The current wireless state is reflected in this field.
Network
Name(SSID) (Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the NBG-
419N must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32
keyboard 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.
