Field or Button Description
Network Name
(SSID)
Enter a name of no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. This
SSID must be entered on every wireless device on your wireless
network to communicate with the router. The default SSID is
motorola XXX, where XXX are the last 3 characters of your Wireless
MAC address, found on the label on the bottom of the unit.
Channel
Number
Identifies the channel on which the router communicates. Each
wireless client must use the same channel to enable communication.
If changed wirelessly, once you restart the router, you will lose your
the wireless connection. Change the wireless device’s channel to the
new channel to log back into the router.
The default is Channel 11.
Operation Mode
Enables you to select the type of transmission protocol your wireless
network uses.
The options are:
Compatibility (802.11b/g) – default setting
Performance (802.11g only)
Legacy (802.11b only)
Performance
Enhancement
WR850GP only
When enabled, the wireless data throughput of a WR850GP router is
boosted when used exclusively with Performance Enhanced client
devices, such as the WN825GP Wireless Notebook Adapters and/or
WPCI810GP Wireless PCI Adapters.
1 From Operation Mode (see above), select Compatibility
(802.11b/g) or Performance (802.11g only) to allow access to
this feature.
2 Check Performance Enhancement Enabled.
When the Performance Enhancement feature is enabled, the
wireless network can still support non-Performance Enhanced client
devices, including standard 802.11g and/or 802.11b devices. Under
these conditions the network steps down to support full backward
compatibility.
If you enable Performance Enhancement, it is recommended that
you also enable Frame Bursting in the Wireless > Advanced screen.
