SSID
SSID is the network name assigned to the Extender’s wireless network. The factory
default setting is “Actiontec.” Although Actiontec recommends keeping the default
value intact, the
ESSID value can be modified, using any combination of alphanu-
meric characters (i.e., A-Z , a-z, 0-9). All wireless-capable computers included on
the Extender’s wireless network must have this same ESSID value.
Hide SSID Broadcast
Select this check box to disable SSID broadcast. If deactivated, the SSID of the
Extender’s wireless network is available to any wireless device.
Wireless Mode
From this drop-down list, select the speed of the wireless network. Options include
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11 Super G static, and 802.11 Super G dynamic.
Channel
Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Extender communicates. In
the United States, use channels 1-11, or select Smart Select, which automatically
selects a minimally used channel. (The factory default value is set to Smart Select.)
Wireless Security
Clicking Wireless Security on the left side of any Interface screen causes the
“Wireless Security” screen to appear. Here, the Extender’s wireless network security
settings can be configured.
