Channel This field determines which operating frequency will be
used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless
channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point. The default is Auto.
Channel Width IEEE802.11n allows for the use of wideband channels
(40MHz). This effectively doubles the bandwidth of the
data channel.NOTE: It should be noted however, that
selecting 40MHz channel bandwidth will adversely affect
any other nearby WLANs. Therefore, as required by the
standard, if other WLANs are detected the bandwidth used
will fall back to 20MHz.
Channel Ext
Rate Adjusts the power strength of the wireless signal. Reducing
the power strength may reduce the wireless coverage.
WMM WMM (Wireless Multi Media) enables DSCP and VLAN
tag based QoS.
SSID The name of the wireless network
Broadcast SSID On your PC, some wireless status screens may display the
SSID as the Access Point in use.
If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set
Identifier).
To communicate, all wireless devices should use the same
SSID/ESSID for the network.
Authentication method The current wireless security encryption method is
displayed.
Default value is WPA2-PSK. Click the drop down list to
select alternative encryption methods. See Wireless security
for more information.
WPA Encryption Default is AES. See Wireless security for more information
Key The key used for the selected encryption method. See
