D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router
• Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless
network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open
network (without wireless security) that they discover.
• Does your wireless device or computer show up on the Attached Devices screen? If it
does, then it is connected to the network.
• If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on
the bottom of your WiFi modem router.
Wireless Settings Screen Fields
Region. The location where the WiFi modem router is used. Select from the countries in the
list. In the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable.
Wireless Network
Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and
5-GHz ac/a/n bands.
Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or
wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or
access Ethernet devices on the network.
Enable SSID Broadcast. This setting allows the WiFi modem router to broadcast its SSID so
wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check
box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast
check box, and click Apply.
Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character
(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly
generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this.
Channel. This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1
through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be
operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (when indicated by
lost connections or slow data transfers). If this interference happens, experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
Mode. Up to 1300 Mbps is the default setting for the 5G band while connected with 3x3
802.11ac devices. This setting allows 802.11ac/a/n wireless devices to join the network. Up to
300 Mbps is the default setting for the 2.4G band while connected with 2x2/3x3 802.11n
devices. This setting allows 802.11b/g/n devices to join the network. 802.11g & b supports up
to 54 Mbps.
