Chapter 4 Congure the Router
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• Enable SSID Broadcast - If enabled, the router will broadcast the wireless network
name (SSID).
• Enable WDS - You can select this to enable WDS Bridging, with this function, the router
can bridge two or more WLANs.
Note:
If this checkbox is selected, you had better make sure the following settings are correct.
