Enable/disable the wireless function.
Auto
– “Auto” is the default setting of the Storage Server. At this
mode, the Storage Server will automatically decide to enable or
disable the wireless function. When the Storage Server starts up,
it will auto-detect if the LAN port is connected to an active
network by an Ethernet cable. If this is the case, the Storage
Server will run in Ethernet mode. If the Storage Server is not
connected to an active network by Ethernet cable, the Storage
Server will run in wireless LAN mode.
Users can plug the Ethernet cable to the Storage Server at the
first, after configuring the Storage Server features and wireless
settings; they can unplug the Ethernet cable to enable the
wireless connection. It makes the configuration much easier

Note: After you have set the wireless function, please remove the
Ethernet cable and then re-plug the power jack of the Storage
Server to activate the wireless connection.
