network via the ID only. However, if you switch to Client Mode, this
field becomes the SSID of the AP you want to connect with.

address)

You can select Upper or Lower.
Channel Number
You can select the operating frequency of wireless network.
Broadcast SSID
If you enable “Broadcast SSID”, every wireless station located within
the coverage of the WNAP-W2201A can discover its signal easily. If
you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is
recommended. In private network, disabling “Broadcast SSID” can
provide better wireless network security.
Default is “Enabled”.
Data Rate
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most of
wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data
transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this value
unless you know what will happen after modification.
Default is “Auto”.
Associated Clients
Click “Show Active Clients” to show the status table of active wireless
clients.
Enable Universal
Repeater Mode
