2. Access Control: Wireless LAN

Wireless LAN
Allows activating or deactivating the WLAN function of GuestGate.

SSID
Define the name of the Wireless network, e.g., “free wifi,” “guest wireless,” “hotelwifi,”
etc.

Operational Mode
Here you can select which wireless modes are supported by
GuestGate. The standard mode is 802.11 B/GN. It supports legacy
Wireless B and Wireless G connections as well as the new Wireless
N standard at 300 Mbps.
For best compatibility, we recommend using the default B/G/N
mode.


Channel Number
Set GuestGate to a channel between 1 and 11. To achieve the maximum performance
from the Wireless network, you should set the channel as far away as you can from
existing wireless networks in your vicinity. For example, if there is a nearby wireless
network running at channel 4, you should not set GuestGate to channel 4, 5 or 6, but
instead to channel 7 or higher.

3. Access Control: General Settings

Control bandwidth usage and trusted Ethernet addresses.


Bandwidth Download Limit
Control the maximum download speed available for the connected guest computers.
Available options are from 32 kbps (kilobits per second) up to 2048 kbps (= 2
Megabits per second). Default = unlimited.
