Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
Figure 5-15. Message from webpage dialog box.
NOTE: Limited by local law regulations, version for North America does not have region selection option.
• Mode—Select the desired mode.
- 11bg mixed—Select if you are using both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients.
- 11bgn mixed—Select if you are using a mix of 802.11b, 11g, and 11n wireless clients. We strongly recommend that you set the
Mode to 802.11bgn mixed, and all of 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless stations can connect to the router.
• Channel—This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default channel is set to Auto, so the AP will
choose the best channel automatically. You do not need to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems
with another nearby access point.
• Channel Width—Select the channel width from the drop-down list. The default setting can automatically adjust the channel
width for your clients.
NOTE: If 11bg mixed is selected in the Mode field, the Channel Width field will turn gray and the value will become 20M, which
cannot be changed.
• Enable SSID Broadcast—When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the
SSID broadcast by the router. If you select the Enable SSID Broadcast checkbox, the Wireless router will broadcast its name
(SSID) on the air.
• Enable WDS—Check this box to enable WDS. With this function, the router can bridge two or more WLANs. If this checkbox is
selected, you will have to set the following parameters as shown in Figure 4 14. Make sure the following settings are correct.
Figure 5-16. WDS Setting.
• SSID (to be bridged)—The SSID of the AP your router is going to connect to as a client. You can also use the search function to
select the SSID to join.
• MAC Address (to be bridged)—The BSSID of the AP your router is going to connect to as a client. You can also use the search
function to select the BSSID to join.
