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 NBG4115 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 NBG4115 is currently using.
Channel
Width
Select whether the NBG4115 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 NBG4115 to adjust the channel
bandwidth automatically.
Security
Mode
Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK 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
and
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.

Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG4115.
