Field Entry
Wireless Module Accept the default, Enable. Click the Disable checkbox only if you do
not want wireless clients to access your network.
Network ID (SSID)
Refers to the Service Set Identifier for your device. By default, the
SSID for the 3G Wireless-N Router is
Zoom. You can change the
SSID to a name of your choice. The SSID can be up to 32
alphanumeric characters. If you change the name, make sure that all
devices on your network use the new SSID as the access point.
SSID Broadcast
To hide your network's SSID name, which disables automatic
broadcasting of the SSID and makes the wireless access point (your
router) invisible to wireless clients on the network, click the Disable
radio button.
Channel
Refers to the wireless network channel assigned to your LAN. By
default, the router uses channel 10.
Wireless Mode
Accept the default, B/G/N mixed if the client devices on your network
use various wireless standards. Otherwise, select the wireless
standard used by all wireless devices on your network. Having a
single standard will speed up the wireless throughput.
Authentication Accept the default, WEP-Auto or select one of the available options.
Select WEP-Open to use Open System authentication. Select
WEP-Shared to use Shared Key authentication.
802.1X
Refers to the optional authentication method for Radius servers. To
enable 802.1X, click the Enable radio button. Otherwise, accept the
default, Disable.
Key Format
If all the wireless devices in the network are Zoom products, select
Hex. Otherwise, select ASCII. Although Zoom products support both
Hex and ASCII, we recommend using Hex.
