SSID

The SSID is an identification string of up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate

the ASUS WL-330N from other manufacturers. The SSID is also referred to as the

“ESSID” or “Extended Service Set ID.” You can use the default SSID and radio

channel unless more than one WL-330N is deployed in the same area. In that

case, you should use a different SSID and a radio channel for each WL-330N. All

ASUS Wireless APs/Routers and ASUS 802.11n/802.11g/802.11b WLAN client

adapters must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam. By

default, the SSID is set to “ASUS”.

Wireless Mode

This field indicates the 802.11n interface mode. Selecting “Auto” allows 802.11g,

802.11b, and 802.11n clients to connect to WL-330N. Selecting “b/g Mixed” allows

802.11b/g/n clients to connect to WL-330N, but 802.11n clients only run at a speed

of 54Mbps. Selecting “n only” maximizes performance, but prevents 802.11b/g

clients from connecting to your device. Selecting “b only” allows only 802.11b

clients to connect to your device. Selecting “g only” allows only 802.11g clients

to connect to your device. If “b/g Protection” is checked, protection of 11g or 11b

traffic is enabled automatically in the presence of 11g/11b traffic.
