Enter a 32-character (maximum) service set i
dentifier (SSID); the characters are
case-sensitive. The default is NETGEAR_11na. The SSID assigned to a wireless
device needs to match the wireless access point’s SSID for the wireless device
to communicate with the wireless access point. If the SSIDs do not match, you
will not get a wireless connection to the wireless access point.

wireless access point’s SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID
from being broadcast, select the No radio button.
Channel / Frequency From the drop-down list, select the channel you wish to use on your wireless
L
AN. The wireless channels and frequencies depend on the country and
wireless mode. The default setting is Auto.
Note: It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
e
xperience interference (indicated by lost connections or slow data transfers).
Should this happen, you might want to experiment with different channels to see
which is the best. For more information, see the guidelines following this table.
Note: For more information about available channels and frequencies, see
Technical Specifications in Appendix A.
11na mode only
Note: For most
ne
tworks, the default

Settings in Appendix A.
Channel Width From the drop-down list, select a channel width. The options
a
re Dynamic 20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, or 40 MHz. A wider
channel improves the performance, but some legacy devices
can operate only in either 20 MHz or 40 MHz.
