Wireless. To use your Router’s wireless connection, click Enabled. To disable your connection, click Disabled.
Network Mode. From this drop-down menu, you can select the wireless standards running on your network. If
you have both 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have only
802.11g devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only 802.11b devices, select Wireless-B Only.
Network Name (SSID). The SSID is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. The SSID
must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 keyboard
characters in length. Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network. For added
security, you should change the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings. All
devices in your wireless network must broadcast on the same channel in order to communicate.
SSID Broadcast. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will
detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select Disabled.
Encryption. The wireless security used on your wireless network is displayed here.
