The available settings in this screen are:
Enable Wireless Router Radio. If you disable the wireless router radio, wireless devices
cannot connect to the Wireless-G Router. If you will not be using your wireless network
for a period of time, you can clear this check box and disable all wireless connectivity.
Enable SSID Broadcast. Clear this check box to disable broadcast of the SSID, so that
only devices that know the correct SSID can connect. Disabling SSID broadcast nullifies
the wireless network discovery feature of some products such as Windows XP.
Fragmentation and CTS/RTS Thresholds. The Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS
Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced
configuration only. Do not change these settings.
WPS Settings.
Router PIN. This is the PIN number you use on a registrar (for example, from the
Network Explorer on a Vista Windows PC) to configure the wireless settings of the
router through WPS. This PIN is also on the router product label.
Disable the Router PIN. Disable the router PIN to disable accessing the router
wireless security via its PIN.
Figure 2-5
Note: The router may temporarily disable the PIN function when it detects

access the router with its PIN.
