Reference Manual for the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 v3
Wireless Configuration 5-7
v3.0, December 2005
• Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices
cannot connect to the WGT624 v3.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the
correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’
feature of some products such as Windows XP.
• Wireless Card Access List. When the Trusted PCs Only radio button is selected, the
WGT624 v3 checks the MAC address of the wireless station and only allows connections to
computers identified on the trusted computers list.
• 108Mbps Settings.
— Disable Advanced 108Mbps Features: disables data compression, packet bursting, and
large frame support.
— Enable eXtended Range: provides singnificantly longer range than basic 802.11,
maintaining connectivity even when signals have to pass through dense walls, floors, or
other barriers. XR products require no additional configuration and are fully compatible
with standard 802.11 technologies.
