Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834GSP
Wireless Configuration 4-5
v1.0, June 2007
The following parameters are in the Wireless Settings menu:
• Wireless Network.
— Name (SSID). The Service Set ID, also known as the wireless network name. Enter a
value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all
wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is a unique value printed on the label
on the bottom of your modem router.
— Region. Select your country/region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region
of operation for which the wireless interface is intended.
— Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default
channel is selected by encoding the MAC address. It should not be necessary to change the
wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access
point.
— Mode. The default is "g & b", which allows both "g" and "b" wireless stations to access
this device. “g only” allows only 802.11g wireless stations to be used. “b only” allows
802.11b wireless stations; 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in
802.11b mode.
• Wireless Access Point.
— Enable Wireless Access Point. This field lets you turn off or turn on the wireless access
point built in to the modem router. The wireless icon on the front of the modem router will
also display the current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled
or enabled. The wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access
the Internet.
— Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID). If enabled, the SSID is broadcast to all Wireless
Stations. Stations that have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for
connections to this Access Point.
— Wireless Isolation. If enabled, Wireless Stations will not be able to communicate with
each other or with Stations on the wired network. This feature should normally be
disabled.
Note: This value is case sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as
wireless.
Since your default SSID is unique, there is no good reason for changing its
value. If you do change the value, performing a hard reset will restore the
SSID to its default.
