Enable Wireless Access
Point
Selected by default, this setting enables the wireless radio,
which allows the router to work as a wireless access point.
Turning off the wireless radio can be helpful for configuration,
network tuning, or troubleshooting.
Allow Broadcast Name
(SSID)
Selected by default, the router broadcasts its SSID, allowing
wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the
correct SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices with the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the
wireless network discovery feature of products such as
Windows XP, but the data is still exposed to equipment like
wireless sniffers. For this reason NETGEAR recommends that
you also enable wireless security.
Fragmentation Length,
CTS/RTS Threshold, and
Preamble Mode
These should be left at their default settings.
