WAH7608.
• 802.11 B/G mixed: to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the WAH7608. The transmission rate of your WAH7608 might be reduced.
• 802.11 B/G/N mixed: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the WAH7608. The transmission rate of your WAH7608 might be
reduced.
• 802.11 G only: to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
WAH7608.
• 802.11 N only: to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
WAH7608.
Channel Set the channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel or use Auto to have the WAH7608 automatically determine a channel to use. If
you are having problems with wireless interference, changing the channel may help. Try to use a
channel that is as many channels away from any channels used by neighboring APs as possible.
The channel number which the WAH7608 is currently using then displays next to this field.
WiFi Name

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.
Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name for the wireless LAN.
Hide SSID Select the check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain
the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Max Clients Select a number to specify maximum client the Guest WiFi network can use. Click Apply to save
your changes.
