Configure the Router as a Standard Wireless Router
• Wireless - Enable or disable wireless function as needed.
• Wireless Network Name - Enter a string of up to 32 characters. The default SSID is
TP-Link_XXXX (XXXX indicates the last unique four numbers of each router’s MAC
address). It is strongly recommended that you change your network name (SSID). This
value is case-sensitive. For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.
• Region - Select your region from the pull-down list. This field specifies the region
where the wireless function of the Router can be used. It may be illegal to use the
wireless function of the Router in a region other than one of those specified in this
filed. If your country or region is not listed, please contact your local government
agency for assistance.
• Mode - Select the desired mode. It is strongly recommended that you keep the
default setting 11bgn mixed, so that all 802.11b/g/n wireless devices can connect to
the router.
Note: If 11bg mixed mode is selected, the Channel Width field will turn grey and the value will become 20M, and cannot
be changed.
• Channel - This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is set to Auto. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
• Channel Width - Select any channel width from the drop-down list. The default setting
is Auto, which can automatically adjust the channel width for your clients.
• Enable SSID Broadcast - If enabled, the router will broadcast the wireless network
name (SSID).
