Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this
screen.
There are two ways to configure the Router’s wireless
network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that makes it easy to set
up your wireless network. If you have client devices, such
as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,
then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Wireless Configuration To manually configure your
wireless network, select Manual. Proceed to the “Basic
Wireless Settings” section. To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup,
select Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Proceed to the “Wi-Fi
Protected Setup” section.
Basic Wireless Settings
Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Manual Setup)
Wireless Network Mode From this drop-down menu,
you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices
in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you
have only Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only. If
you have only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only.
If you do not have any wireless devices in your network,
select Disabled.
Wireless Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the network
name shared among all points in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Wireless Channel Select the channel from the list
provided to correspond with your network settings. All
devices in your wireless network must be broadcast on
the same channel in order to function correctly.
Wireless SSID Broadcast When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast
the Router’s SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select
Disabled.

applies to the client device you are configuring.

NOTE: Wi-Fi Protected Setup configures one
client device at a time. Repeat the instructions
for each client device that supports Wi-Fi
Protected Setup.
