N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Premium Edition WNDR3800
• Disable Router’s PIN. You can configure the router's wireless settings or add a wireless
client through WPS using the router's PIN only when the PIN is enabled. The router's PIN
can be disabled temporarily when the router detects suspicious attempts to break into the
router's wireless settings by using the router's PIN through WPS.You can manually
enable this function by clearing the check box and clicking the Apply button.
• Keep Existing Wireless Settings. This shows whether the router has been set up to use
WPS. If this option is not selected, adding a new wireless client will change the router's
wireless settings to an automatically generated random SSID and security key. In
addition, if this option is selected, some external registrars (such as Network Explorer on
Vista Windows) might not see the router. Configuring wireless settings selects this option
automatically.
AP Mode.
Wireless Card Access List. Click the Set Up Access List button display the Wireless Card
Access List screen. On this screen you can restrict access to your network to specific devices
based on their MAC address.
Sensitivity for ACS Channel Switch. The clear channel selector automatically avoids busy
WiFi channels for clear and fast wireless connections. When the Wireless Mode field in the
Wireless Settings screen is set to Auto, clear channel is automatically enabled.
Here, in the Advanced Wireless Setting screen, you can change the sensitivity for the clear
channel selector. By default it is set to Middle. If you think that is too sensitive, you can select
the Low radio button. To increase sensitivity, select the High radio button. With the High
setting you might get some wireless disconnections if your wireless client does not support
802.11h (this smooth channel switch protocol.) If you use the High setting, NETGEAR
recommends that you update your wireless equipment with the latest wireless drivers.
Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)
You can set the WNDR3800 router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this
enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another
wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.
